A pale pink or rose-colored mineral, a hydrated manganese aluminum phosphate, found in rare mineral deposits and valued by collectors.
From Greek 'eos' (dawn/rosy light) plus 'sphaera' (sphere/ball), literally meaning 'rosy stone', referring to its characteristic dawn-like pink coloring.
Eosphorite is named after its beautiful rose-pink color, but it's so rare that most mineralogists have never held a specimen—it appears mainly in the mountains of Maine and other geologically special places.
