A monoclinic mineral, NaAl(PO<sub>4</sub>)F ; isostructural with durangite; in cavities in granite pegmatites.
Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, NaAl<sub>2</sub>(AlSi<sub>3</sub>)O<sub>10</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>; mica group; pseudohexagonal with basal cleavage; forms fine-grained, massive, scaly aggregates; occurs in metamorphic rocks and in soils; not common as it is incompatible with potassium feldspar (albite plus muscovite is more stable); rarely identified because of its similarity to muscovite.
