Summary[edit]

Description
English: Studtite, Fourmarierite, Uranophane - alpha, Uraninite
Locality: Shinkolobwe Mine (Kasolo Mine), Shinkolobwe, Central area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 2.8 x 2.2 x 2.5 cm.
Although this is a small specimen of Uraninite it is well covered with Studtite sprays up to 3 mm on a bed of Uranophane with orange Fourmarierite. The contrast is amazing and helps to make this a significant, photogenic, Studtite specimen. Fourmarierite is best known as red pseudo-hexagonal crystals but also as orange needles or "grains". On this specimen it is seen as this orange form which is much rarer but mostly overseen or taken for Curite and thus mislabeled if ever it was found in some collections. Shinkolobwe is the Type Locality for the Studtite and the Fourmarierite, a mine closed since decades.
