Description
Species: Becquerelite, Sharpite, Uraninite
Locality: Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo
Dimensions: 12 cm x 6 cm x 4.5 cm
Phenomenal large cabinet-size specimen of very well-crystallized becquerelite, with several large (for the species) crystal groups of the EXTREMELY rare uranium mineral sharpite (!!) all on black massive uraninite matrix from the famous Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo. This is one of the top specimens in the Quinter collection and is much better in person… seriously interested parties are welcome to request a video and additional photos of this specimen. Both rare and beautiful, this is a real treasure of the Shinkolobwe mine! Eric Quinter specimen U/Th 0010, pictured on Mindat.org.
