Stewartite from
Strickland Quarry, Strickland pegmatite, Collins Hill, Portland, Middlesex County, Connecticut, USA


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Stewartite
Formula:Mn2+Fe23+(PO4)2(OH)2 · 8H2O
Formation:Secondary
Comments:According to Schooner (circa 1985) occurs as tiny yellow crystals in altered hureaulite. Specimens of hureaulite from the dump bulldozed in 1984 show small areas of a yellow alteration, possibly stewartite. So far an SEM-EDS analysis (2017) of yellow grains in lithiophilite have proven to be natrophilite.
Colour:pale yellow
Quality for species:Poor for species, only of interest for locality collectors. (#)
Abundance at site:Rare
Confirmation
Validity:Unconfirmed/Questioned
