About UranospathiteHide

Formula:
(Al,☐)(UO2)2(PO4)2F · 20(H2O,F)
Colour:
Yellow, light yellow-green, pale green
Hardness:
2 - 2½
Specific Gravity:
2.5
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
In allusion to its composition, containing URANium plus Greek σπάθη for "SPATHe", sword or broad blade, alluding to its common habit.
Isostructural with:
Arsenuranospathite
The P analogue of arsenuranospathite. An uncommon secondary mineral occurring in the oxidized zones of uranium-bearing hydrothermal deposits.
Easily loses 10-12 H2O converting to sabugalite (Walenta, 1978).

Crystal structure details:

- corner-sharing UO6 square bipyramids
- PO4 tetrahedra
- the above form autunite-type [(UO2)(PO4)] sheet
- Al(H2O)6 octahedra are in the interlayer space
- 8 isolated water molecules in the interlayer
- hydrogen bonds link together the water molecules, Al octahedra and UAs-bearing sheets, forming a very complex bonding net
- F is supposed to replace some of the water molecules in the Al-bearing octahedra.
