Notes: The EDS analysis of this specimen showed that it is slightly on the Childrenite side of the childrenite-eosphorite series. The manganese content must be grater than the iron content for the specimen to fall on the eosphorite side of the childrenite-eosphorite series. The analysis of several Chickering Mine childrenite-eosphorite specimens has yet to yield a sample that falls on the eosphorite side of the series. This was the first clear example that was analyzed. The previously analyzed ones were pale yellow.
