Species: EOSPHORITE Locality: Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH Specimen Size: 1.6 mm ball Field Collected: Clayton Ford, Gift from Gordon Jackson Catalog No.: 2289 Notes: An Oct. 2019 EDS analysis indicated this is a tight ball of eosphorite crystals. All previous analyses of Palermo childrenite-eosphorite group specimens that I have done indicated Fe > Mn, so childrenite. Eosphorite is rare at Palermo, contrary to many specimens and several photos labeled as such. |
