Childrenite specimens for sale

Childrenite is a hydrated phosphate mineral with iron(II) and aluminum in its structure, forming prismatic to tabular crystals that often show a pale brown to colorless appearance. The mineral commonly exhibits a vitreous to subvitreous luster and a transparent to translucent look when crystals are well-formed, with a habit that can include elongated prismatic shapes and occasional bladed forms. Notable localities include Brazil, Afghanistan, Bolivia, the United Kingdom, and Canada, where small, well-formed specimens have been recovered, sometimes accompanying other phosphate minerals in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins.
