Dzherkamar uranium deposit is a polymetallic vein-type deposit in effusive rocks located ca. 10 km SE of Adrasman.
Here, base metals were already exploited in the antiquity (more than 100 ancient pits and relevant dumps were found in the area). The deposit was rediscovered in 1928 and exploited for uranium ore in the 1950s.
Dzherkamar deposit is the type locality for przhevalskite, a secondary uranium mineral discovered by V.G. Kruglovaya in 1946 (Getseva & Savelyeva, 1956; Soboleva & Pudovkina, 1957; Chernikov et al., 1997; Pekov, 1998). The mineral appears as tabular crystals, ranging in size from 0.1 to 1 mm, showing a bright yellow colour with a faint greenish tint. The crystals form micaceous, foliated aggregates. Przhevalskite was found in the oxidation zone of the pitchblende-sulphide deposit in association with dewindtite, torbernite, autunite, dumontite, uranophane, halloysite, kaolinite, wulfenite, and oxyhydroxides of iron and manganese. Kasolite and curite also occur.
According to Getseva & Savelyeva (1956), the synthetic przhevalskite, obtained at pH 4.2, has the crystal structure of torbernite.
