Wonderful and extremely rare specimen!

On a matrix rich of black uraninite, a forest of magnificent bronze-brown crystals intertwined and in beautiful divergent spray and fan. Although it does not have the bright colors typical of "uraniferous" it is one of the most sought after due to its extreme rarity, especially in this exceptionally rich quality and with these perfectly shaped crystals.

Unique!!
