Greenish-yellow balls of kunatite (previously Unknown Cu Fe Phosphate), with blue-green balls of turquoise/chalcosiderite, a square-shaped torbernite crystal, and some unidentified darker green balls (pseudomalachite?), all on albite, orthoclase and smoky quartz. Collected by John Carey who also gave specimens to Museum Victoria so that they could describe it as...
Pale yellow-green autunite crystals (that fluoresce strongly) with cores of blue-green torbernite. The autunite has probably grown epitaxially on the torbernite. Ex Rod Martin. Width of view 6mm. Stack of 60 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.
Green platy crystals, no matrix. Width of view 9mm. Stack of 60 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.
Platy green crystals on smoky quartz. Most are much thinner than the one in the photo. Width of view 5mm. Stack of 40 images. Click on the image below for a higher resolution version.
Sharp crystals of cassiterite ranging in colour from yellow through grey and brown to black, some zoned, with white topaz (to the right and slightly below the main cassiterite crystal) and green torbernite (not in photo). Width of view 9.5mm. Stack of 55 images. Click on the image below for...
Ex Bernie and Margaret Day Collection. Width of view 3.5mm. Stack of 40 images.
Green platy torbernite, bluish green hemispheres of pseudomalachite, tiny green crystals of libethenite and tiny yellow-green crystals of mottramite. Width of view 7.5mm. Stack of 120 images. Ex Barry Schubert Collection.
Ex Bernie Day specimen.
Bright yellow crusts of sabugalite with pale-green tabular torbernite (or zeunerite?). Ex Sid Williams (Globo de Plomom). The sabugalite exhibits strong fluorescence under SWUV. Note: labelled as sabugalite, but not confirmed. Rick Turner: I have identical material from Edward that turned out to be sodium-zippeite (“natrozippeite”) – XRD and EDS...
