Item Description
A hard to find specimen from the Microlite group from southwestern Colorado. The piece features a small (1 mm) brown-black partial octahedral crystal of what could possibly be Uranmicrolite in K-Feldspar and Muscovite matrix. The crystal most likely will show some kind of radioactivity, as I have seen other pieces from this locality that are confirmed radioactive. Hard to find on the market, and certainly worth picking up for any collector of this kind of material.
