Item Description
An attractive piece from this very isolated yet exciting discovery. Rarely is Eosphorite or Childrenite found in Pakistan. Typically either species is brown and opaque, and this is a good example of said material. This specimen hosts a predominant, 1.1 cm crystal sitting atop white Albite on a partial Microcline crystal. It would have to be analyzed to determine the Mn to Fe ratio in order to know which species it is.
