Thorogummite : (Th,U)[(OH)4x|(SiO4)1-x], Wölsendorfite : (Pb,Ca)U2O7·2H2O, Uraninite (Var: Thorian Uraninite) : (U,Th)O2

Sherrer Quarry, C.K. Williams & Co. Quarry (Williams Quarry), Chestnut Hill, Easton, Forks Township, Northampton Co., Pennsylvania, USA

Originally identified as thorogummite altering from thorianite, but based on Montgomery's article in Am. Min. vol. 42 p. 804, this can be considered as a mixture of wolsendorfite (Frondel's Mineral C), dark brown resinous, and thorogummite, yellow resinous, as pseudomorphous replacments of a roughly cubic thorium-enriched uraninite crystal.
