Wavellite
Wavellite (hydrated aluminum phosphate) is quite rare. It is a green or yellowish-green mineral
that develops along the cracks of aluminum-rich rocks; wavellite is associated with minerals such
as muscovite and turquoise, two minerals containing aluminum. Large wavellite deposits can be
found in Arkansas and Pennsylvania, USA. Wavellite is exploited for its phosphate content.
