A synonym of Raadeite
Found within a reddish corona nearby heneuite, the corona also containing "apatite" and althausite. The mineral forms fibers, 10 microns wide on average (Raade et al. 1986). It was tenntatively identifuied as Mg3(PO4)(OH)3. Due to the small amount it was not possible at the time to characterize the possible new mineral.
Some years later Chopin et al. (2001) described Raadeite and found that it was identical with the phase that occured in the the reddish corona structure described by Raade et al. (1986).
