Grafton, New Hampshire, USA
Formula:
Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2
Colour:
Usually reddish brown, occasionally light brown, rarely salmon-pink; nearly colorless in transmitted light.
Lustre:
Sub-Vitreous, Resinous, Greasy
Hardness:
5
Specific Gravity:
3.67 - 3.79
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named by Samuel L. Penfield in 1900 for the town of Grafton, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA, about five miles east of the type locality on Melvin Mountain.
Beusite-Graftonite Series.

A primary phosphate mineral found in complex granitic pegmatites.
Chemically related to sarcopside.

Tait et al. (2013) observed that Ca may be dominant at M(1) in graftonite-like compositions and suggested a possible new member; this was later confirmed and the species named graftonite-(Ca) (IMA CNMMN 2017 redefinition).

Crystallography of GraftoniteHide

Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Class (H-M):
2/m - Prismatic
Space Group:
P21/b
Cell Parameters:
a = 8.87 Å, b = 11.57 Å, c = 6.17 Å

Morphology:
Generally found as parallel lamellae in triphylite or occasionally with other primary phosphates in granite pegmatite. Morphological "crystals" are essentially unknown. Pseudomorphs of heterosite after graftonite "crystals" are stout prismatic; also occurs as rough composite crystals of graftonite in triphylite.
