Svanbergite is a colorless, yellow or reddish mineral with the chemical formula SrAl3(PO4)(SO4)(OH)6. It has rhombohedral crystals. [Richard V. Gaines, H. Catherine W. Skinner, Eugene E. Foord, Brian Mason, and Abraham Rosenzweig: "Dana's new mineralogy", p. 962. John Wiley & Sons, 1997]

It was first described for an occurrence in Varmland, Sweden in 1854 and named for Swedish chemist Lars Fredrik Svanberg (1805–1878). [http://www.handbookofmineralogy.org/pdfs/svanbergite.pdf Mineral Handbook] [http://webmineral.com/data/Svanbergite.shtml Webmineral]
