Extract

As part of a continuing project dealing with evaluation, testing, and preparation of new high quality X-ray powder diffraction standards for phosphate and arsenate minerals, new X-ray and supporting data for minyulite, KAl2(PO4)2(0H,F).4H20, have been obtained and Interpreted with the aid of a calculated powder pattern.
