Name:From "LEUCO" meaning "white," and PHOSPHate, in allusion to its colour and composition as a phosphate.


The Fe3+ analogue of tinsleyite.

A phosphate formed by the action of solutions derived from bird or bat guano upon serpentine (TL), or earlier iron-bearing minerals, or resulting from the hydrothermal alteration of earlier iron-bearing phosphates in pegmatites.
