Rosell Minerales

A specimen of the highest quality for this locality and for the species, named in honour to our colleague D. Antonio Barahona. The species was determined in samples from Pastrana, Mazarrón (Murcia), its type locality, more than a decade ago by Dr. Joan Viñals. This specimen shows various vugs covered by small sky-blue barahonaite crystals. The color is excellent and the size of the sample makes it worthy of a fine showcase. We have also analyzed it and will send the results to the buyer.

Size: 6.1 x 4.5 x 4.2 cm.

Analyzed specimen with report

On a sandstone matrix some yellow crusts of coconinoite formed by small tabular to micaceous crystals. This sample has been analyzed by SEM-EDS and we will send the results to the buyer.

Size: 8.2 x 7.4 x 4.2 cm.

Presents radioactive activity.

For uranium mineral collectors, this carnotite of an intense yellow color, formed by numerous globular aggregates of crystals, covering the surface of the sandstone matrix. An American classic, labeled E. Kucera (Barcelona).
