استرنژیت
Sign in to saveStrengite is a relatively rare iron phosphate mineral with the formula: FePO4·2H2O. The mineral is named after the German mineralogist (1830–1897). Lavender, pink or purple in hue, it is similar to variscite and is partially soluble, particularly in conditions where there is a low pH and low oxidation-reduction potential. The color comes from ferric ion (Fe3+).
