Steinmetzite is a very rare phosphate mineral with formula Zn2Fe(PO4)2(OH)•3H2O. It was discovered among pegmatites of Hagendorf in Germany, [2] [3] that are famous for rare phosphate minerals. [4] Steinmetzite is chemically related to phosphophyllite and other zinc iron phosphates, namely plimerite and zinclipscombite. [5] [6]
