Specimen data for Ernstite

Tom Mortimer catalog number: U187

Identification method: An qualitative EDS analysis supports the ernstite identification:
Encyclopedia of Minerals, Robert, Rapp and Weber, 1974, states, in part, Ernstite "occurs as an oxidation product of eosphorite (of which relicts remain)..." Specimen in photo is clearly altered pseudomorph of Childrenite-Eosphorite.
