Description

A nice thumbnail consisting of a cluster of brownish well developed crystals of the fairly rare phosphate eosphorite on a bit of matrix, unusually individualized crystals (according to my provider analyzed, not childrenite!). Quite large crystals for the species. The yellowish-brown mineral is probably a Roscherite group mineral (Ruifrancoite is probable).
