Described by Hamberg (1888) as "ett hexagonalt blyarseniat i små fina hvite prismer" (a hexagonalt leadarseniate as small, nice white prisms)
According to Hamberg, Flink thought these to be mimetite or a related mineral. This is according to Nysten (2004) probably identical with what later was described as svabite. The description may also fit to johnbaumite.
