Svabite is an arsenate mineral.[2] The mineral is rare and is also a member of the apatite group.[3] It is isomorphous with apatite and mimetite.[3]
It got its name in 1891 by Hjalmar Sjögren after Anton von Swab.[4]
Occurrence
Svabite can be found in countries like Sweden or Germany.[3]
The mineral is rare in calc-silicate skarns and arsenate analogue.[5]
