Description

Spots of yellow uranopilite (showing yellow-green fluorescence) with minor orange cobaltzippeite as microcrystals/crusts on black uraninite in sandstone matrix from this classic Utah locality. Quite nice for these minerals at the locality. From the noted collection of Eric Quinter (1947-2024), one of the best private collections of uranium minerals in the United States!
