Childrenite on Quartz monoclinic this piece is associated withSome of the best crystallized phosphates from Bolivia are found at this locality. Childrenite is a relatively rare, hydrated iron aluminum phosphate and some of the better and more unique specimens of this mineral come from Llallagua. There are only a few localities in the world where this mineral is found.
