Mourite is one of the most uncommon and unforgettable minerals of uranium. Its colour and outer appearance hasn't analogues. Here we see incredible large specimen of massive Mourite from its type locality. This compact finecrystalline masse is only fragment of its gigant filling of a vug into rhiolite had been cut out by knife. For ~40 years of ...
