The top crystals are covered with a very thin layer of Heterogenite what gives them a black appearance, most unusual: What is noticeable here is that the Torbernite is coated with Heterogenite that prevented its dehydration. The Metatorbernite was a first generation and had all the time to dehydrate. Also present on this specimen is a cluster of Curite crystals also covered with the Heterogenite.

The yellow mineral used to be called Ianthinite but since the discovery in the 1950’s has turned into Epiianthinite; which is, in fact, now realized to be the same species as previously known Schoepite. It is a sort of pseudomorph because the crystal habit of the Ianthinite can still be seen (the change occurred after the specimen was recovered, post-mining). Associated is also a 10 mm large cluster of red Curite crystals nicely nestled in the yellow Epiianthinite. It is beautiful. A very heavy specimen due to the matrix consisting of pure Uraninite. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for the Schoepite and the Curite, a mine closed since decades. It used to be on display at the Carnegie Museum, just because of the gorgeous colour mix. This specimen was removed from the display in the early 1990's because it was considered \"too hot\" and sold to now-deceased dealer Gilbert Gauthier. Before it went to Carnegie, it came from the famous dealer Dr. F. Krantz, in Bonn.

The yellow mineral used to be called Ianthinite but since the discovery in the 1950’s has turned into Epiianthinite; which is, in fact, now realized to be the same species as previously known Schoepite. It is a sort of pseudomorph because the crystal habit of the Ianthinite can still be seen (the change occurred after the specimen was recovered, post-mining). Associated is also a 10 mm large cluster of red Curite crystals nicely nestled in the yellow Epiianthinite. It is beautiful. A very heavy specimen due to the matrix consisting of pure Uraninite. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for the Schoepite and the Curite, a mine closed since decades. It used to be on display at the Carnegie Museum, just because of the gorgeous colour mix. This specimen was removed from the display in the early 1990's because it was considered \"too hot\" and sold to now-deceased dealer Gilbert Gauthier.

The curite forms needles who are filling the spaces between and sits on the huge Metatorbernite crystals. It is associated with Kasolite in blocky crystals, unusually good also for this species. The matrix consists of massive Metatorbernite. This is an extraordinary fine piece of this not-often seen mineral. Truly unique for the size and beauty, I think. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for Curite and Kasolite both, making this a more significant specimen in science as well as just for the beauty. We have not seen a richer specimen of crysatllized examples like this.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",{"id":390,"source_url":391,"license_code":225,"credit_html":392,"title":393,"description":394,"author":265,"original_width":329,"original_height":336},51479,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10457515","Robert M.
