Swamboite : UH6(UO2)6(SiO4)6·30H2O, Soddyite : (UO2)2SiO4·2H2O, Uraninite : UO2

Swambo Hill (Swambo Mine), Swambo, Central area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre)

Small, 3.3 mm wide, sample of needle-like swamboite with uraninite and soddyite. Swamboite is unique due to beeing possibly the only mineral containing both uranyl and uranium(VI) cations. Specimen obtained from Sonke Stolze - thanks!
