Description/Interesting Notes:
A rich, old time example of gummite from New Hampshire!!! This specimen consists of a dense, showy 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 jet-black uraninite and dark brown
cyrtolite zircon!!! The uraninite is present as numerous black masses and grains scattered throughout the specimen and the cyrtolite
zircon is present as scattered dark brown crystals!!! There is also some mica and quartz present as well!!! This specimen is
quite showy in person!!! 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!!!
