Collectors Summary

Color gelb
Streak color weiß
Lustre Glasglanz bis schwacher Perlmuttglanz
Hardness (Mohs) 4 - 5
Cleavages gut (0-11) und (100)
Morphology Das Mineral bildet leistenartige, undeutliche bis fassförmige Kristalle bis zu 1,5 mm Länge und 1mm Durchmesser; typisch gebogene Kristalle führen zum Fass-artigen Aussehen; die oft verzwillingten Kristalle sind denen von Zanazziit außerordentlich ähnlich.
