The Carnotite is of a paler yellow than the Metatyuyamunite and not well crystallized. The minerals are sitting on a bed of Malachite. The Malachite sits in turn on Heterogenite covering Quartz crystals. Carnotite and Metatyuyamunite were rare minerals at Mashamba and the specimens where recovered in the mid 1980’s. As the Mashamba mine is flooded and most probably exhausted, no specimens will perhaps ever reach the market again.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",532,{"id":328,"source_url":329,"license_code":257,"credit_html":330,"title":331,"description":325,"author":261,"original_width":332,"original_height":333},38395,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10161219","Robert M.
