Summary

Description
English: Torbernite, Metatorbernite, Curite, Heterogenite
Locality: Shinkolobwe Mine (Kasolo Mine), Shinkolobwe, Central area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 8.5 x 6 x 4.5 cm.
This Torbernite specimen is from the Shinkolobwe uranium mine and shows two generations. The dark green crystals of torbernite are growing on lighter metatorbernite crystals. The Torbernite are transparent dark green crystals because the water is still present in the crystal structure. The Metatorbernite appears as light green, opaque crystals because most of the water is gone. The top crystals are covered with a very thin layer of Heterogenite what gives them a black appearance, most unusual: What is noticeable here is that the Torbernite is coated with Heterogenite that prevented its dehydration. The Metatorbernite was a first generation and had all the time to dehydrate. Also present on this specimen is a cluster of Curite crystals also covered with the Heterogenite. Shinkolobwe is the type locality for Curite.
