System:TriclinicColour:Yellow to ...
Hardness:3 - 4
Name:Named in 1837 by Johann Friedric August Breithaupt from the Greek διάδοχος for "successor," presumably in allusion to its secondary origin.


Similar to Destinezite. Both may be amorphous.

A secondary mineral occurring in gossans and coal deposits as the result of sulfate-rich solutions reacting with earlier phosphates; common in secondary phosphate assemblages in granitic pegmatites; in cave deposits, or as a post-mining product.
