Gorgeous, very well-crystallized specimen of brilliant canary-yellow Sklodowskite from the type locality for the species at the iconic Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Kambove Territory, Haut-Katanga, DR Congo. These are hard to get from Shinkolobwe and this is much better than most with excellent crystallization and truly “electric” color. Ex. Eric Quinter Collection. Rare!!
