context_page_description: Allanpringite is a phosphate mineral named after Australian mineralogist Allan Pring, South Australian Museum. Allanpringite is a Fe³⁺ analogue Al-phosphate mineral wavellite, but it has a different crystal symmetry – monoclinic instead of orthorhombic in wavellite. It forms needle-like crystals, which are always twinned and form parallel bundles up to about 2 mm long. They are often found in association with other iron phosphates in abandoned iron mines.
