Description

You are bidding on a small sample with a fracture lined with hundreds of bright orange wolsendorite crystals with rutherfordine, uranophane and becquerelite and maybe others on a chunk of solid uraninite. This is a VERY hot specimen so international shipping will be extra. Much better than my poor photos!
