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 the type locality on Melvin Mountain, Grafton, Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA.
Beusite-Graftonite Series.

The correct formula (IMA CNMMN 2017 redefinition) is: FeFe2(PO4)2.

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

Ca may be dominant at M(1) in graftonite-like compositions, suggesting a possible new member (Tait et al., 2013).
