Group of deep green plimerite crystals on quartz. EDS and XRD analyzed.
Numerous rhabdophane-(Ce) crystals on plimerite (darker elongated). Both EDs and pXRD analyzed.
Group of pale pink strengite crystals with deep green plimerite on quartz. We can see some small yellow spots on the strengite who are rhabdophane-(Ce). Strengite is slightly altered. EDS and XRD analyzed.
Group of elongated plimerite crystals with some tiny rhabdophane-(Ce) on them. Both EDS and XRD analyzed.
Elongated plimerite crystals with some very small rhabdophane-(Ce). EDS and XRD analyzed.
Group of strengite crystals with very small rhabdophane-(Ce). Strengite is altered as we can see in the fibrous appearance. Both EDS and XRD analyzed.
