Cuprosklodowskite pocket

Item Description

This is a gorgeous pocket of cuprosklodowskite crystals in matrix, a rare uranium mineral species known at its best from this particular locality. Large pieces like this, showing a complete vug, are highly desired and increasingly hard to obtain (though mining still contiunues, the heyday here is now long past). The sheer color saturation of these crystals is unearthly. They do not look real, some say. They are among the most intensely colorful mineral crystals, though, and the color impact in a case is phenomenal. Valued $2500
