Childrenite is a rare hydrated phosphate mineral with elements iron, manganese, aluminium, phosphorus, oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrate is a term used in Inorganic chemistry and Organic chemistry to indicate that a substance contains Water. A phosphate, an Inorganic chemical, is a salt of Phosphoric acid. A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition a highly ordered atomic structure and specific A chemical element is a type of Atom that is distinguished by its Atomic number; that is by the number of Protons in its nucleus. Iron (ˈаɪɚn is a Chemical element with the symbol Fe (ferrum and Atomic number 26 Manganese (ˈmæŋgəniːz is a Chemical element, designated by the symbol Mn.

A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the Atoms that constitute a particular Chemical compound, and how the relationship between those atoms changes The molecular mass (abbreviated m of a substance, more commonly referred to as molecular weight and abbreviated as MW, is the Mass of one 83 g/mol. Its specific gravity is 3. Relative density, sometimes called specific density, is the Ratio of the Density of a substance to the density of a given reference material 2 and it has a Mohs hardness of 4. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness characterizes the scratch resistance of various Minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material 5 to 5. It is usually translucent and non-fluorescent, with imperfect cleavage. In Optics, transparency (also called pellucidity) is the Material property of allowing Fluorescence is a Luminescence that is mostly found as an Cleavage, in Mineralogy, is the tendency of crystalline materials to split along definite planes creating smooth surfaces of which there are several named types It has a vitreous lustre with a white streak, and is brown or yellow in color. Vitreous refers to a material in an Amorphous, Glassy state (in contrast to a Crystalline state Lustre (or luster) is a description of the way light interacts with the surface of a Crystal, rock, or Mineral. White is a Color, the perception which is evoked by Light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive Cone cells in the Human eye A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition a highly ordered atomic structure and specific Black, when used as a general term is a color that is a Very dark Black, black, or Black, of low Luminance relative to Yellow is the Color evoked by light that stimulates both the L and M (long and medium wavelength Cone cells of the Retina about equally It has a conchoidal, uneven fracture, and an orthorhombic crystal system. Conchoidal Fracture describes the way that Brittle materials break when they do not follow any natural planes of separation. A fracture is the (local separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. In Crystallography, the orthorhombic Crystal system is one of the seven Lattice Point groups Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching
Childrenite was discovered in 1823 by John George Children (1777 - 1852), who was a prominent English chemist and mineralogist.

The county is also referred to as Devonshire, but that is an entirely unofficial name Its formation is probably from the alteration of granitic phosphates like lithiophilite and triphylite. Granite (ˈɡrænɪt is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, Felsic, igneous rock. Lithiophilite is a mineral containing the element Lithium.

With eosphorite, childrenite can form a solid solution series. Eosphorite is a pink mineral with Monoclinic crystals Its Chemical formula is Mn[[aluminum Al]]( P[[oxygen O]]4(O H)2· A solid' object is in the States of matter characterized by resistance to Deformation and changes of Volume. In Chemistry, a solution is a Homogeneous Mixture composed of two or more substances The chemical composition of eosphorite only differs by being rich in manganese and not in iron. The two mineral's structures are the same, and differences in properties can be traced to the iron/manganese percentage. Structure is a fundamental and sometimes Intangible notion covering the Recognition, Observation, nature, and Stability of Of the two, childrenite is denser. Furthermore, eosphorite is normally pink in color, which can be attributed to manganese. Pink is a pale Red Color that was first recorded in the 17th century to describe the pale red Flowers of pinks, Flowering plants
