Uranocircite

Locality: São Pedro claim, Malacacheta, Mucuri valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil

This has to be one of the hands-down , most gorgeous examples for the species I have ever seen. It is a stunning miniature, with arborescent clusters of vivid neon-yellow/green crysatls arranged upon a knob of matrix. The piece is good from ALL SIDES, and is complete 360 degrees. You could not ask for better, I think. Although one of the more common radioactives per se, aesthetic , display-quality examples are NOT so common. These were mined some 20-30 years ago, I have been given to understand. 3.7 x 3.5 x 3.1 cm
