Item Description

The Poco d'Antas claim was noted for this particular find of nice Childrenite in 2006 and it hasn't been repeated since in this particular style of specimen and crystal shape. This fine small cabinet specimen is bristling with dozens of 1 to 1.5 cm, bladed, translucent brown, Childrenite crystals, a fairly rare iron-aluminum phosphate. These wedge-terminated crystals are in relatively robust clusters of crystals that have grown on a matrix of Quartz and fine-grained Muscovite. An excellent piece from this one-time find!
