Name:
Named by A. Weisbach in 1872 in honor of Gustav Anton Zeuner (30 November 1828, Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany – 17 October 1907, Desden, Saxony, Germany), physicist and engineer. He was Director of the School of Mines, Freiberg, Saxony, Germany when the mineral was described.
Autunite Group.
A secondary mineral occurring in the oxidised zones of arsenic-bearing hydrothermal uranium deposits.
Often dehydrated to Metazeunerite.
