Very nice colorful well-crystallized specimen of Studtite, Becquerelite, and Wölsendorfite on black uraninite matrix from the famous Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo. Good Shinkolobwe mine specimens are becoming very hard to come by and this is a nice one that won’t break the bank. Great under the microscope or loupe. Rare!!
