Uranpyrochlore : (U,Ca,Ce)2(Nb,Ta)2O6(OH,F)

"Auf Dickel" (incl. Nonnental), Rockeskyll, Gerolstein, Eifel Mts, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Reddish brown octahedral crystals of Uranpyrochlore on Sanidine and in paragenesis with Zircon, Magnetite and Fluorapatite. Identification by SEM-EDS suggests a composition with a Ti/Nb ratio of 1/3 and a U+Th/Na+Ca ratio of 1/3. Specimen was collected in 04/1981, field of view 5 mm, collection C.&H. Schäfer
