Springwater contains substantial amounts of anhydrous magnesium phosphate, a new mineral. The phosphate is in contact with the iron and was in contact with it at the time of solidification of the meteorite. From the physical properties and chemical reactions of the two phases it can be inferred that the cooling through the freezing range was rapid. The optical properties and physical description of the mineral are presented, together with chemical analyses and the X-ray diffraction pattern. The discussion of the analyses permits the conclusion that SiO 2 , FeO and excess MgO can be contained in solid solution by the phosphate mineral.
