It was first described in 1824 for an occurrence in the Stenna Gwyn Mine, St Stephen-in-Brannel, St Austell District, Cornwall, England.^[4]

It is a rare secondary mineral found in complex granite pegmatites where it forms by weathering of earlier phosphate minerals. It is found in association with fluorapatite, wavellite, phosphosiderite, strengite, aldermanite, cacoxenite, variscite, turquoise, fluorite and quartz.^[2]
