Description/Interesting Notes:
A rich, old time example of gummite from New Hampshire!!! This specimen consists of a
dense, solid mass of colorful gummite with uraninite and cyrtolite zircon!!! Gummite is a combination of several
uranium bearing species such as boltwoodite, clarkeite, curite, kasolite, soddyite, uraninite, and uranophane!!!
The gummite shows rich, intense hues of bright yellows and vivid oranges in aesthetic combination with dark brown cyrtolite zircon and
jet-black uraninite!!! The uraninite is present as scattered black grains throughout the specimen and the cyrtolite zircon is quite
well crytallized in areas!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
