Gummite - close-up orange section.
Close-up of sooty uraninite.
Very large red dolomite rhombs in this cluster from this northern Saskatchewan uranium mine. Acquired from John Biczok before he moved to eastern Canada, along with some other large specimens. Evidently too big to pack.
Orange-caramel masuyite in yellow waxy boltwoodite and small veinlets of sklodowskite fibers in parallel growth on the right side of the specimen. Quartz infused with these yellow minerals to the left of the main vein.
