    Description: Subsequent quantitative EPMA data on the acicular xls showed that they are highly inhomogeneous (strongly variable REE and Ca contents), some parts even with As>P (slight dominance of As); some point analyses corresponded to REE-bearing and As-bearing calciopetersite (U. Kolitsch, unpubl. data).
