Augelite



  Augelite is an aluminium phosphate mineral with formula: Al2(PO4)(OH)3. The shade varies from colorless to white, yellow or rose. Its crystal system is monoclinic.[1]

It was first described for an occurrence at Varmland, Sweden in 1868 and derives its name from the Greek αύγή in reference to its pearly lustre.[2][3]
