Ježekite
Ježekite is a rare hydrated sodium uranyl carbonate sulfate mineral with the chemical formula Na8[(UO2)(CO3)3](SO4)2·3H2O. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and belongs to the uranyl carbonate mineral group. This mineral is characterized by its monoclinic prismatic crystal habit, though it often occurs as crusts or botryoidal masses. It exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster, with a pale yellow to lemon-yellow color. Ježekite has a relatively low hardness, typically around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and a low to moderate density. Its composition and structure make it a member of the complex uranyl carbonate mineral family.
