Mass of trigonal selenian-rich digenite crystals with many crystal faces that are present in diverse surfaces. Some areas are richly coated by lustrous yellow and greenish yellow species likely uranophane and/or guilleminite, but further testing is required. Digenite is a classic matrix for many radioactive species at Musonoi but crystallized digenite such as this is extremely rare.
