EOSPHORITE  Palermo #1 Mine, N. Groton, NH
1.6 mm ball

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.
