RM3513   Variscite
AlPO₄ · 2H₂O
  -  8. Phosphates, arsenates and vanadates

These specimens from the Turó de Montcada quarry are characterized by a breccia-like appearance formed by different fragments of ampelitic slate cemented with variscite, thanks to the hydrothermal fluids that circulated between them. We can see different colour tones, between green and white. This led us to consider the possibility of an alteration of the variscite that had converted it into crandallite, but X-ray diffraction studies determined that it was dehydrated variscite. We will send the analytical results to the buyer.
