AUTUNITE FOR SALE
Autunite is a yellow-green phosphate mineral that often forms in fan-like masses or as tabular crystals. It is classified as a hydrated calcium uranyl phosphate, containing uranium as a property of its chemical formula. Most autunite specimens are highly fluorescent.
While autunite does in fact contain uranium, its risk level is considered low since there is only a small amount of uranium that makes up the crystal. That being said, autunite can lose water and convert to meta-autunite. That, along with the uranium content is enough incentive to store specimens in closed containers and away from direct contact with other minerals.
