Scorzalite forms one endmember of a solid solution series with the lighter, more magnesium-rich lazulite. Woodhouseite is found only near masses of lazulite, MgAl(PO)(OH). They initially called the mineral iron lazulite. He was one of the first collectors of lazulite, rutile, pyrophyllite, and other minerals. It has been found in Zambia associated with lazulite. The x-ray powder diffraction pattern was similar to lazulite, but unknown. This group is within the non-silicate, category 8, anhydrous phosphates, lazulite supergroup. Lazulite forms one endmember of a solid solution series with the darker iron rich scorzalite.
