Madawaska Mine, Faraday Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada
Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Uranophane
Formula:Ca(UO2)2(SiO3OH)2 · 5H2O
Comments:Uranophane occurs as fine crystal clusters.
Uranophane is a good collectors mineral and is quite profitable as a specimen.

Masson and Gordon say: Some large pegmatites have vuggy cores containing excellent crystals of minerals such as calcite with gypsum, pyrite, goethite, limonite/hematite, uranophane, fluorite and chalcopyrite.
Habit:acicular yellow needles; often in radiating groups.
Quality for species:Excellent - world class for species or very significant. (!!)
