About Hedyphane GroupHide

Name:
The group has its name after the most common and first described mineral in the group, hedyphane, originally described from Långban, Sweden.
A group in the Apatite Supergroup which includes hexagonal and pseudohexagonal phosphates, arsenates and sulphates containing different species-defining cations at both the M1 and M2 sites (Pasero et al., 2010).

Some minerals in the hedyphane group:

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
