Uraninite Var. Pitchblende

Uraninite Var. Pitchblende from Northern Territory, Australia

Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

This rich specimen of massive Pitchblende on a yellow matrix came out of the A.L. Kidwell Collection, and the Kidwell label lists the locality as just "Northern Territory" without specifying which of the several localities in this area it came from - so we will not venture a guess. It is quite rich with both Uraninite and its yellow alteration products.
