Torbernite from
Lake Boga granite quarry, Lake Boga, Swan Hill Rural City, Victoria, Australia


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Torbernite
Formula:Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 12H2O
Comments:"Torbernite is the most widespread of the uranium-bearing phosphates at Lake Boga. It is found on joint planes and in small cavities and is frequently associated with limonite crusts and films. Crystals may also be found on clay filling cavities and between cleavage flakes in books of muscovite. Torbernite usually occurs as thin, lustrous, transparent pale green to emerald green tabular crystals up to 2.5 mm on edge. These may lay flat on joints or occur as free standing aggregates in cavities. Thick tabular to blocky crystals of a more intense green have also been found. Torbernite occurs with most of the other phosphates at Lake Boga."
