Vandermeerscheite and Phillipsite from Schellkopf, Germany

Vandermeerscheite and Phillipsite from Schellkopf, Brenk, Brohltal, Ahrweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Small but quality specimen of Vandermeerscheite and Phillipsite from Schellkopf, Germany.

Comes boxed with our ID label and a former owners label identifying it as carnotite.

While this mineral is a thumbnail in size, the vandermeerscheite crystal is a micro - it is actually very difficult to spot except under extreme magnification. You cannot see it with the naked eye.

I was not able to detect any noticable increase in radioactivity from this piece.

Toxic and radioactive mineral: vandermeerscheite contains uranium.
