Vein of quartzlike berlinite in the middle of an phosphate lens, with blue lazulite etc. Lens size approx. 4x30x20 mm3. Collected April 21 2001 and later identified with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis by Daniel Svensson.
Berlinite veins in phosphate lens. Visible area approx. 2 cm2. Collected Dec 28 1975. Identified with X-ray diffraction methods by Staffan Hansen. Specimen located in the collection at the Center for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lund.
Impressive berlinite surrounded by blue lazulite. This old specimen is located in the collection at the Center for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lund.Approx. 5x3x3 cm3.
Very impressive old berlinite specimen. Approx. 3x3x3 cm3. Located in the collection at the Center for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lund.
Quartz in a phosphate lens together with several phosphate minerals. This indicates that it´s not always berlinite that looks like quartz in the phosphate lenses. The specimen has been determined to be quartz with EDS-analyze by Staffan Hansen. Specimen was collected by Heinz Pfotenhauer in 1980. Located in Daniel Svensson´s collection. Specimen size is approx. 4x4cm.
