Item Description
A VERY RICH and large specimen with dozens of fat blades of childrenite, to 1.5 cm, perched on a quartz shard matrix. Other phosphates, mostly roscherite with perhaps some eosphorite, are present as the smaller crystals on the childrenite and over the matrix. From a recent find, very unusual for its richness for the species here
