| Comments: | "Attractive honey-brown to pinkish brown, tapering prismatic crystals of eosphorite occur in cavities in the Wycherproof pegmatite veins. Drusy crusts of eosphorite crystals up to 0.2mm have been found in a vertical seam in the adjacent granite. In the pegmatites, the larger crystals often form sheaf-like aggregates, with individual crystals up to 1cm long. The eosphorite crystals often appear dull due to a thin coating of cyrilovite." | |
