| β Formula: FePO4 · 2H2O Description: Specimens of "strengite" from the Wood Mine were originally reported by Lehnert (1971). Specimens of "strengite" were later re-examined by Henry Barwood (1997) through XRD and microprobe data and the result was variscite. |
| β Variscite Formula: AlPO4 · 2H2O Colour: Pink Description: Ferroan variscite - not strengite References: |
| β Variscite var. Ferrian Variscite Formula: (Al,Fe)PO4 · 2H2O |
| β 'Wad' References: |
| β Wavellite Formula: Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)3 · 5H2O References: |
