| Description | An unusual association of metatorbernite and lithiophorite was found at the uranium deposit Předbořice located about 8 km S from Krásná Hora, central Bohemia, Czech Republic. Metatorbernite forms idiomorphic tabular or dipyramidal emerald green crystals up to 11 mm in size on quartz gangue. Younger lithiophorite forms grey-black to black coatings and crusts with reniform to hemispherical aggregates on quartz gangue or metatorbernite crystals. The origin of studied mineral association is interpreted as a product of the in-situ supergene alteration of the primary uranium mineralization in the environment near the present surface. |
