RM3167   Autunite/Meta-autunite on quartz
Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2·10-12H2O

Autunite specimens, which transform into meta-autunite by losing naturally water molecules, from this Portuguese mine are among the most aesthetically pleasing in the world due to their intense yellow-greenish colour, transparence, and luster. In this specimen we can observe numerous aggregates of tabular crystals on matrix. SEM-EDS analyzes have been carried out confirming the presence of Mg, but in a very small amount. Fluorescence under LW-UV light is exceptional.

Size: 3.3 x 2.7 x 2.1 cm.
Found in ±2015.
Fluorescent under long wave UV
