11lhjdnr ((SALEEITE or ?SODDYITE)), $20 MINIMUM BID, Kamoto-East, Katanga, Congo, 2 x 1 x 1 cm, Thumbnail | |
Here is a specimen of the rare uranyl phosphate Saleeite. Sharp yellow crystals. The photos on mindat show more micaceous specimens so I am not certain on the ID although it came from a knowledgeable dealer. I think they look more like Soddyite. I am using an optivisor. Probably under a scope a positive ID would be relatively easy. |
