Goanikontes Claim

Goanikontes, Arandis Constituency, Erongo Region, Namibia

Uranium mine east of Swakopmund, famous for mineral specimens – especially Boltwoodite.

No products were found matching your selection.

There are several species from this site which are known for their quality – boltwoodite and weeksite. However, the boltwoodite from the site is world class.

The boltwoodite typically occurs as bright sprays of yellow prismatic crystals, often on calcite.

It seems that this site may now be part of the Etango Uranium Project, a new uranium extraction project working several sites. As such, future specimens may either be labelled under a different name, or there simply may not be any future specimens coming.
