UO₂
  -  4. Oxides and hydroxides

Uraninite partially coated with gummite; we can see the inner part of the black uraninite and the gummite surrounding it. The faces of the cube are also clearly visible. Gummite is a yellow amorphous mixture of uranium minerals, oxides, silicates, and hydrates of uranium, derived from the alteration of uraninite. It is named for its gum-like luster.
