Abundant opaque, green-brown childrenite-eosphorite crystals - in individuals and sprays - to about 4 mm on a feldspar matrix. Although often labeled as one species or the other, childrenite - Fe2+Al(PO4)(OH)2·H2O and its manganese analog eosphorite - Mn2+Al(PO4)(OH)2·H2O cannot be distinguished visually, and are (probably) frequently present in the same specimens and/or crystal. This example is in fine condition.
