1883 Proc. Royal Irish Acad.: Sci. 3 552 Variscite..is clearly identical with the callainite of Damour, a mineral the provenance of which is unknown.

1942 Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 240 654 Callainite, from Montebras, France, produces a pattern that can be satisfactorily accounted for only by assuming a mixture of wavellite and turquoise.
