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


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Saléeite
Formula:Mg(UO2)2(PO4)2 · 10H2O
Comments:"Saleeite crystals occur in miarolitic cavities and on limonite-encrusted joint planes in the Lake Boga granite. Pale to lemon or greenish yellow translucent to transparent platy crystals occur as fan-like clusters or flattened aggregates. They are usually less than 3 mm on edge but exceptional crystals may reach 9 mm. Thick tabular and unusual prismatic crystals are less common. Saleeite may overgrow torbernite crystals at Lake Boga."
