Natromarkeyite Bladed yellow-green natromarkeyite from the Markey mine. Its structure is related to markeyite, where 2 Na replace 1 Ca and 1 H2O group; Locality: Markey Mine, Red Canyon, White Canyon Mining District, San Juan Co., Utah, USA; Fov: 1.3 mm; Copyright: Travis Olds; Contribution: Stefan Location: USA/Utah/San Juan Co./White Canyon District/Red Canyon/Markey Mine Mineral: Natromarkeyite Image: 1565261738 License: Usage for Mineralienatlas project only |

Uroxite Yellow green crystals of uroxite with steeply sloping terminations and rectangular cross section. Uroxite is the first reported uranyl oxalate mineral, where the source of oxalate likely originates from metabolism or decay of organic matter. Collected by myself and Tim Rose, 2018. Horizontal field of view is 1.7 mm; Locality: Burro Mine, Slick Rock District, San Miguel Co., Colorado, USA; Fov: 1.7 mm; Copyright: Travis Olds; Contribution: Stefan Location: USA/Colorado/San Miguel Co./Slick Rock District/Burro Mine Mineral: Uroxite Image: 1554366228 License: Usage for Mineralienatlas project only |

Paddlewheelite A tabular green crystal of paddlewheelite in a vug of dolomite and chalcopyrite. Collected by myself and Jakub Plá?il Sep 2016, shortly after the 500th anniversary of Jáchymov; The name was chosen to reflect its unique structure that contains fourling paddlewheel units built from uranyl tricarbonate clusters (see child photos). The paddlewheels have square pyramidal copper "axles," with a cubic calcium cation "gearbox."; Locality: Svornost Mine, Jáchymov, Jáchymov District, Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic; Fov: 1.7 mm; Copyright: Travis Olds; Contribution: Stefan Location: Tschechien/Karlsbad (Karlovarský kraj)/Karlsbad (Okres Karlovy Vary)/St. Joachimsthal (Jáchymov)/Einigkeit (Svornost) Mineral: Paddlewheelite Image: 1532383195 Rating: 10 (votes: 1) License: Usage for Mineralienatlas project only |

Shinkolobweite, Fourmarierite, Rutherfordine Dark reddish brown blades of shinkolobweite (IMA 2016-095) coating massive uraninite with orange fourmarierite and pale rutherfordine. Horizontal field of view is 1 mm. The structure of shinkolobweite is modulated and contains pentavalent uranium which produces the deep color. The new mineral originates from a collection of some of the best Shinkolobwe mine specimens at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa which belonged to the late Bill Pinch; Locality: Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo; Fov: 1 mm; Copyright: Travis Olds; Contribution: Stefan Location: Demokratische Republik Kongo/Katanga (Shaba), Provinz/Ober-Katanga (Haut-Katanga), Distrikt/Shinkolobwe (Kasolo)/Shinkolobwe Mine (Kasolo Mine) Mineral: Shinkolobweite Image: 1493731555 License: Usage for Mineralienatlas project only |

Uranophane An aesthetic vug of acicular uranophane crystals to 1 mm in amphibole gneiss from one of the most radioactive uranium prospects in Upper Michigan -- which is actually an exposure only ~2 feet long! Uranyl silicates like uranophane, sklodowskite, and kasolite are the dominant secondary U minerals but some incredibly unique phases are formed by alteration of molybdenite and leached radiogenic Pb. Vugs such as this one are incredibly rare as the U-silicates typically occur as ugly massive "gummite" coatings. EDS and Raman spectroscopy confirmed. Collected 2011.
