What 砪 means

Dictionaries pair 雲砪 with 雲母 as spellings of the same mineral term.
Where does 砪 appear in old dictionaries?
The trail runs through older Chinese dictionaries.
A dictionary of Chinese character variants—alternative written forms—traces 砪 through 玉篇, an early character dictionary compiled in 535–551, then 集韻, 類篇, 四聲篇海 and 字彙. The entry survives in a later printed edition, so those citations do not prove this exact form was used in the sixth century.
Lexicographic and mineral-related, as in 雲砪.
