Abstract

AT the time when the hydrated aluminium phosphate-sulphate hotsonite (Beukes et al., 1984a) and its equally rare relative zaherite (Beukes et al., 1984b; De Bruiyn et al., 1985) were discovered near Pofadder, South Africa, very little was known about the unit cells of the other two hydrated aluminium phosphate-sulphate minerals sanjuanite and kribergite, originally described by De Abeledo et al. (1968) from Argentina and Sweden, respectively. Although the Powder Diffraction file (PDF) contains the X-ray diffraction patterns for sanjuanite and kribergite (PDF 20-47 and 20-48 respectively), they had not been indexed nor have their unit cell parameters been calculated thus far.
