Childrenite

This specimen is a rare and genuine example of childrenite from Rapid Creek, which is often mistakenly identified as eosphorite from this locality. The piece features a stunning radial spray of lustrous, brown childrenite crystals emerging from a quartz vug. Childrenite is actually quite scarce at Rapid Creek, making this specimen a significant find. While eosphorite, a closely related phosphate mineral, is more commonly encountered, genuine childrenite specimens like this one are prized for their rarity and the clarity of their crystal form.
