  Comments:

  'In the summer of 1953, Jess Abernathy, operator of the Fuemrol mine, Emery County, Utah, noticed some yeillow crystals in his ore. Realizing that they might be of mineralogical importance, he gave the several pieces of sandstone which were coated with crystals to E. B. Gross, mineralogist for the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission in Grand Junction; but Gross was unable to find in the literature any mineral with corresponding optical properties, and, not having the facilities in Grand Junction for further work, he gave the specimens to A. D. Weeks and M E Thompson, mineralogists for the U. S. Geological Survey in Washington DC. M.E. Thompson, Blanche Ingram, and E. B. Gross were pleased to name this mineral for the person who found it, Jess Abernathy; without his interest in and appreciation of the mineralogy of his ore, the mineral might have remained undiscovered.'

•   AUTUNITE Ca(UO₂)₂(PO₄)₂ 11H₂O
  
  LW: Green
  MW: Green
  SW: Green
  Comments:

  Named by Henry J. Brooke and William H. Miller in 1854 for the type locality at Saint Symphorien near Autun, Saône-et-Loire, France.

   

  Dehydrates in air to form meta-autunite.

   

   

  Caution!

  The autunite is highly radioactive. Like many uranium minerals (especially micaceous minerals) it is so easily clipped that inevitably a fine dust is formed in the boxes containing it that it is very dangerous to inhale. Avoid flying this dust in the air by brushing it or worse by blowing on it and wash your hands after each handling.

  Microscopic and microprobe study of polished sections resulted in identification of the supposed bassetite of the Jáchymov (Joachimsthal) ore district as a mixture of meta-autunite and amorphous Fe-hydroxides, which replaced the original U-mica.

  Comments:

  Novacekite can have two forms: nováčekite-I is triclinic while nováčekite-II is monoclinic. 

  Nováčekite-I is very unstable under ambient conditions and quickly dehydrates to nováčekite-II and also to metanováčekite.

  Most Nováčekite specimens in collections seem to be either nováčekite-II or metanováčekite.

  LW: Green
  MW:
  SW: Green
  Comments:

  Visually indistinguishable from metatyuyamunite and other uranyl vanadates. Tyuyamunite easily dehydrates in dry atmosphere to metatyuyamunite

  Weakly to not fluorescent yellow-green in UV, although may be intergrown with bright fluorescent species (see mindat.org)

  Observation of pure tyuyamunite specimen is difficult.

•   WEEKSITE (K,Ba,Ca)₂(UO₂)₂Si₅O₁₃ H₂O
  
  LW: Yellowish Green
  MW: Yellowish Green
  SW: Yellowish Green
  Comments:

  Usually cited as non-fluorescent in the litterature despite pictures and samples in collection; identification to be verified; Fluorescent Hyalite can cover weeksite xls or xls can be included in strong fluorescent chalcedony making difficult to say in some samples if weeksite does fluoresce by itself or not (see sample from Thomas range Mountains, USA on Mindat)

   

  A crystallized sample corresponding to the facies of the weeksite and labelled as such from the Anderson Mine clearly shows a low fluorescence from the crystals themselves (no visible hyalite coating) and a spectrum could even be taken.

   

  Yellowish green fluorescence: RGB: 175, 255, 30 (approximatively calculated from the spectrum)
