18jkwg.is ((NATROZIPPEITE, ANDERSONITE, CHALCANTHITE)), RADIOACTIVE, FLUORESCENT, $10 MINIMUM BID, Markey Mine, Red Canyon, White Canyon District, San Juan Co., Utah, 6 x 6 x 2.5 cm, Miniature | |
Bright yellow Natrozippeite with light greenish yellow pseudocubic Andersonite. Both are highly Fluorescent and Uranium species. The Andersonite crystals I have not seen with a loop but perhaps they show up through a microscope. See Mindat.org for reference. The Chalcanthite is hard to see but is a light blue barely visible crust on the matrix and non Fluorescent. ex Wes Gannaway collection |
