Description

Species: Metastudtite, Sklodowskite, Cuprosklodowskite
Locality: Musonoi Mine, Kolwezi, Mutshatsha, Lualaba, DR Congo
Dimensions: 6.8 x 8.6 x4.8 cm, 306 grams

Excellent, very rich, large, colorful, well-crystallized Musonoi mine specimen featuring vivid yellow Sklodowskite crystals serving as the matrix for large (for the species) white accicular crystals of the VERY rare uranium peroxide species Metastudtite, with some cuprosklodowskite as well, all on selenium-rich digenite ore matrix. Fantastic crystallization for this species (likely one of the best known for the locality!!) on this one and very, very attractive under the microscope or loupe! Ex. Eric Quinter Collection. Has been XRD analyzed to confirm all species. Very Rare!
