Named after Henry Augustus Ward (1834-1906), Professor of Natural Sciences at the University of Rochester, Wardite is a rare hydrous sodium aluminium phosphate hydroxide. This excellent miniature is from Rapid Creek in the Dawson Mining District of Yukon, Canada, a locality where mineral collecting is no longer permitted. Wardite crystals of many sizes are perched on top of the reddish-brown matrix of sideritic ironstone, but the specimen is dominated by one major creamy crystal to about 2.5 cm in length. Wardite has a rare crystallography as it crystallises in the tetragonal trapezohedral class; a class containing very few mineral species.
