Clarkeite
Clarkeite is a rare uranium oxide mineral with the chemical formula (Na,Ca,Pb)(UO2)O(OH) * 0-1H2O. It belongs to the trigonal crystal system and is classified under the Strunz system as 4.GC.05. The mineral is typically opaque with a metallic to submetallic luster and exhibits a dark brown to black color. It has a relatively high density and a hardness that is generally low to moderate. Clarkeite is part of the oxide mineral class and is notable for its variable composition, which includes sodium, calcium, and lead in addition to uranium. It is a hydrated mineral, though the water content is variable and may be absent.
