Mont des Grosseilliers
Detaille, 2015, translated from the original French:
"During the replacement of the Pommeroeuil-Antoing canal by the new Nimy-Blaton-Péronnes link (1955), sedimentary rocks of the Carboniferous were exposed over a great distance during the digging of the trench in the Mont des Groseilliers in Blaton. Belonging to the Upper Visean and the Lower Namurian, these rocks mainly include limestones, phtanites and schists. At the contact of the Visean-Namurian, phosphate rocks provided, by alteration, many secondary minerals. Most of these are small and once delighted micromounters. All these iron-containing phosphate minerals have their origin in the circulation, by infiltrating water, of the phosphate and iron contained in the apatite- and pyrite-bearing rocks of Blaton."
"At the time of its discovery (1956), crandallite, a new mineral for Belgium was intensively searched for, given its rarity. Even to such an extent that the “Administration des Voies Hydrauliques” (“Administration of Waterways”) had to proceed with the reinforcement of the canal bank with reinforced concrete to prevent the bank from collapsing into the towpath."
"The stratigraphy of the Visean-Namurian contact in the Mont des Groseillers trench at Blaton was described by J. Bouckaert, A. Delmer and P. Overlan and the study was taken up by K. Fiege in 1963. Professors J. Scheere and R. Van Tassel have studied its rocks and minerals. The origin of the phosphate present in the secondary minerals is due to the presence of apatite and phosphate nodules in the phtanites. Several stages of dissolution and crystallization followed one another to form the majority of the encountered hydrated phosphates. As for the sulphates, they result from the alteration of the pyrite present in the phtanites. The case of baryte is special because it is found practically alone in the joints of the phtanites to the right of the carbonate breccia located approximately 150 m east of the Péruwelz-Blaton road bridge."
"Today, the embankments located on either side of the canal are covered by vegetation and invaded by bramble bushes. We should therefore not have too many illusions about the current possibilities of the deposit. Nevertheless, it is always possible to access one or the other place where the black rocks are exposed. Be careful, however, that all damage done to the site is punishable by law, and the towpath is monitored by the canal manager."

ⓘ Formula: Mn2+Fe3+2(PO4)2(OH)2 · 6H2O Habit: radiating rosettes Colour: straw yellow to greyish yellow Description: Van Tassel (1966) originally described "his" material as being "a strunzite-like material, completely Mn-free and with little or no divalent FeO". However, due to a lack of sufficient data, it was not submitted as a possible new species at the time.
Later, Peacor et al. (1987) state that the mineral they name "ferristrunzite" is "essentially the Fe3+ analogue of strunzite and ferrostrunzite", i.e. exactly the same "Mn-free strunzite" as reported by Van Tassel back in 1966.
In 1990, when Dillen & Van Goethem described ferristrunzite from Haut-le-Wastia (Dillen, H., Van Goethem, L. (1990) Ferristrunzite. Bulletin van de Belgische Vereniging voor Geologie, 99(3-4), 399), Van Tassel confirmed again that any and all "strunzite" from Blaton he had analysed over the years, had turned out to be recently named ferristrunzite (Rik Dillen, pers. comm.) References: |
ⓘ Variscite Formula: AlPO4 · 2H2O Habit: spheres or kidney-shaped aggregates up to 1mm Colour: greyish-white |
ⓘ Vivianite Formula: Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2 · 8H2O Habit: rosettes up to 1cm Colour: blue Description: Usually coated or even completely replaced by an unidentified light yellow amorphous iron phosphate References: |

Crystals can be distinguished from similar cacoxenite crystals by their high lustre and more platy crystals (cacoxenite shows more acicular crystals with virtually no lustre).
Associated with ferristrunzite clusters and/or less frequently with single beraunite crystals. References: |
