Autunite for Sale...

AUTUNITE |
| This is a classic cluster of autunite/meta-autinite crystals with books of green tabular crystals. This specimen has been treated for preservation with a very diluted water-based glue so that it won't degrade. There aren't too many autunite specimens of this size that are preserved from this locality that show the classic crystal habit. I was lucky to acquire this specimen in good condition before the preservation process. Visit my Daybreak Mine page at Washington Minerals for more information about this mineral occurence.

Dark green autunite cores are visible along the edges of the cluster. The rims of the crystals have converted to meta-autunite. The specimen fluoresces bright green under ultraviolet light. The specimen is mounted on a polished acrylic base with removable mineral tack. A specimen label is included.
Radiation was measured with a Hays Model HGC-1 at a distance of 1-inch from specimen at 3 mR/hr. CONTACT me if you are interested in purchasing this specimen. Autunite and meta-autunite are radioactive minerals containing uranium. A knowledge of proper handling and storage is required before purchasing.
