Scholzite forms nice bright white tabular crystals and is associated with other rare phosphates. Specimens can be especially nice when combined with other rare minerals. Scholzite is dimorphous with the mineral parascholzite . A dimorph is a mineral that has the same chemistry but different structures. The even rarer parascholzite is monoclinic while scholzite is orthorhombic in regards to structural symmetry.
Color is white, colorless, gray or pale yellow.
Luster is vitreous. Transparency crystals are transparent to translucent. Crystal System is orthorhombic. Crystal Habits include acicular to more commonly tabular crystals, often radiated. Cleavage is indistinct.
