Superb, very rare specimen of abundant blue astrocyanite-(Ce) with yellow kamotoite-(Y) on massive black uraninite matrix from the Kamoto East Open cut, Kamoto, Mutshatsha, Lualaba, DR Congo. Excellent example of these highly sought-after and extremely rare secondary uranium species! This is an excellent example, with a vintage Tony Nikischer/Excalibur Minerals label. Rare!!
