Description

This is a very old sample from the beginning of the second half of the last century. It was discovered during uranium ore exploration in Hungary. Few pieces remain and this is one of the richest.
Even the miners couldn't find out about the discovery of the uranium anomaly. It was top secret.

I re-analyzed the samples with EDS. I've attached a result.
