Metatorbernite mineral. This radioactive mineral is a dehydrated pseudomorph of the copper uranyl phosphate torbernite. The formula is: Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2.8H2O. It commonly occurs as green deposits,including direct deposition from a supersaturated solution,which produces true crystalline metatorbernite (translucent dark green and a vitreous lustre). This specimen,from Musana in Katanga,Zaire,is 25 centimetres across | |
