A very nice a cluster of brownish well developed crystals of the fairly rare phosphate eosphorite, unusually individualized (according to my provider analyzed, not childrenite!). Large crystals for the species perched on small matrix. Some spots of a yellowish mineral are probably a Roscherite group mineral (Ruifrancoite is probable).
