Abstract/NotesMorinite, NaCa2A12(PO4)2(OH)F4.2H2O, is a lowtemperature hydrothermal phosphate found in granite and granite-pegmatite environments. It was first described by Lacroix in 1891 from Montebras, France (see Palache et al., 1951) where it occurred as rose coloured prismatic crystals with amblygonite, wardite, wavellite, apatite and cassiterite. Morinite is also known from Germany, Finland (Roberts et al., 1990) and the USA (Fisher and Runner, 1958; Fisher, 1960).
