| ⓘ Beraunite Formula: Fe3+6(PO4)4O(OH)4 · 6H2O Description: The 2015 IMA revision of the beraunite group indicated that the ferric-iron dominant member of the group is eleonorite.
In 2021, eleonorite was discredited for being identical to beraunite.

| ⓘ 'Planerite-Turquoise Series' Description: Originally reported to be coeruleolactite. All purported coeruleolactite examined by the authors of the 1998 report (Foord, E.E. & Taggart, J.E.) were largely Planerite, or occasionally turquoise. Published analysis indicates that the vacancy in the 'A' site is between 0.51-0.54 atom fraction, the balance in Cu-0.40 and Zn-0.06 to 0.09. It is suggested by this analysis that the turquoise structure likely cannot accommodate Ca in the 'A' site. References: |
