Superb, colorful, well-crystallized large cabinet-size specimen of brilliant yellow sklodowskite crystals partially-coated by heterogenite on malachite matrix from the famous Musonoi mine in the DR Congo. Very nice and rather unusual example of this colorful secondary uranium mineral from a classic locality for the species. Ex. Eric Quinter Collection. Rare!
