Help improve this recordNo owner is registered for this specimen yet. If it's yours or you know more about it, you can add the owner, provenance, publications and other details.
A small but extremely rich specimen of Uraninite covered with powdery, microcrystalline yellow Uranophane. On the Uranophane one can see a few straw yellow Studtite crystal clusters up to 4 mm in size. Shinkolobwe is the Type Locality for Studtite, a mine closed since decades. Valid, photogenic studtites are NOT common and so this is an extremely rare chance to own one for a good price range, that is something visibly interesting.
