Augelite was one of several aluminium phosphates from the iron mine of Westanå, Skåne, Sweden, described by C. W. Blomstrancl in 1868 (Öfv. Ak. Förh. Stockh. XXV. 1868, p. 199). He states it to be a massive mineral with distinct cleavages in three directions, and names it augelite (avγη lustre) on account of the strong pearly lustre on the cleavage ṡurfaces. He determines its specific gravity as 2.77, and, as the result of his analyses, represents its chemical composition by the formula, 2Al2O3. P2O5. 3H2O. Since this paper of Blomstrand, as far as we are aware, no further reference to augelite has been made, and, since hitherto distinct crystals of the mineral have not bhen found, its position as a definite species seems to have been regarded as somewhat doubtful, for we find that Dana, in the last edition of the System of Mineralogy, includes it in a rather unsatisfactory group of more or less doubtful species appended to evansite.
