(Robert Lauf collection)\n\u003Cp>A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties.  At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical.  Currently, there are over 5700 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common.  Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry.  Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The silicates are the most abundant and chemically complex group of minerals.  All silicates have silica as the basis for their chemistry.  \"Silica\" refers to SiO2 chemistry.  The fundamental molecular unit of silica is one small silicon atom surrounded by four large oxygen atoms in the shape of a triangular pyramid - this is the silica tetrahedron - SiO4.  Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, so only half of the four oxygens \"belong\" to each silicon.  The resulting formula for silica is thus SiO2, not SiO4.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Uranophane-β is a scarce hydrous calcium uranyl hydroxy-silicate mineral, Ca(UO2)2(SiO3OH)2·5H2O.  It has a glassy luster, a yellowish color, is moderately soft, and is radioactive.  Uranophane-β is a secondary uranium mineral that forms by alteration of uraninite (or other primary U minerals) in an oxidizing environment.  The original U+4 ions in uraninite get oxidized into U+6 and usually become incorporated into uranyl ions, (UO2)+2.  In the presence of water and calcium and silica, uranophane-β can form.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The uranophane-β sample shown above is from the Rössing Uranium Mine in Namibia, Africa.  Uraniferous granites are mined and processed for eventual use in nuclear power plants.

(Robert Lauf collection)\n\u003Cp>A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties.  At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical.  Currently, there are over 5700 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common.  Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry.  Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The silicates are the most abundant and chemically complex group of minerals.  All silicates have silica as the basis for their chemistry.  \"Silica\" refers to SiO2 chemistry.  The fundamental molecular unit of silica is one small silicon atom surrounded by four large oxygen atoms in the shape of a triangular pyramid - this is the silica tetrahedron - SiO4.  Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms, so only half of the four oxygens \"belong\" to each silicon.  The resulting formula for silica is thus SiO2, not SiO4.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Uranophane-β is a scarce hydrous calcium uranyl hydroxy-silicate mineral, Ca(UO2)2(SiO3OH)2·5H2O.  It has a glassy luster, a yellowish color, is moderately soft, and is radioactive.  Uranophane-β is a secondary uranium mineral that forms by alteration of uraninite (or other primary U minerals) in an oxidizing environment.  The original U+4 ions in uraninite get oxidized into U+6 and usually become incorporated into uranyl ions, (UO2)+2.  In the presence of water and calcium and silica, uranophane-β can form.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The uranophane-β crystals shown above are from the Rössing Uranium Mine in Namibia, Africa.
