| Comments: | "Crandalite occurs rarely as glistening white hemispheres up to 0.3 mm across in miarolitic cavities. As well, pale blue crandallite with a pearly lustre forms rare cavity infillings and prismatic radiating crystal sprays a few mm across, possibly pseudomorphs after wavellite. Microprobe analysis show this pale blue variety has a composition between crandallite and goyazite and contains a small amount of copper. It is best refered to as cuprian strontian crandallite." | |
