Template:Short description Template:Infobox mineral
Legrandite is a rare zinc arsenate mineral, Zn2(AsO4)(OH)·(H2O).
It is an uncommon secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of arsenic bearing zinc deposits and occurs rarely in granite pegmatite. Associated minerals include: adamite, paradamite, köttigite, scorodite, smithsonite, leiteite, renierite, pharmacosiderite, aurichalcite, siderite, goethite and pyrite.[1][2] It has been reported from Tsumeb, Namibia; the Ojuela mine in Durango, Mexico and at Sterling Hill, New Jersey, US.[1]
It was first described in 1934 for an occurrence in the Flor de Peña Mine, Nuevo León, Mexico and named after Louis C.A. Legrand, a Belgian mining engineer.[2]
