Berlinite from
Cioclovina cave, Boșorod, Hunedoara County, Romania


Locality type:Cave
Classification
Species:Berlinite
Formula:AlPO4
Comments:First reported occurrence of berlinite formed entirely under sedimentary conditions. Disputed in 2005 reference. Confirmed in 2007 reference. Spontaneous combustion of bat guanno is likely cause for creation of high temperature phase.
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
Associated Minerals:
Associates:Hydroxylellestadite
