caption_attribution_description: English: Phosphophyllite Locality: Cerro de Potosí (Cerro Rico), Potosí City, Potosí Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 5.2 cm x 5 cm x 4.9 cm This piece features a 2-cm-tall phosphophyllite crystal perched in a protected matrix cavity. The old material from the 1940s-1950s is mostly in the form of loose crystals.

context_page_description: This is a list of minerals for which there are articles on Wikipedia.
  Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral variety.
  Mineral variety names are listed after the valid minerals for each letter.
