nordstrandite, natrolite, powder X-ray diffraction data, unit-cell parameters, Raman spectra, Richter quarry, Hammerunterwiesenthal, Erzgebirge Mts., Germany

The new occurrence of well-crystalline Al-hydroxide, nordstrandite, was found in the Richter quarry in Hammerunterwiesenthal (Germany). Nordstrandite forms a cluster of pink-orange elongated translucent lanceolate crystals of 6 × 3 mm in size. Nordstrandite is triclinic, space group P-1 with following unit-cell parameters: a 5.111(9), b 5.079(9),  c 5.132(8) Å, α 70.3(1)°, β 74.1(9)°, γ 58.5(9)° and V 106.2(4) Å. Raman spectrum agrees very well with published data for this mineral phase and is considerably different from Raman spectra of another Al(OH)₃ polymorphs. Nordstrandite was found in the close association with natrolite
