Meisserite
Meisserite is a rare hydrated uranyl sulfate mineral with the chemical formula Na5(UO2)(SO4)3(SO3OH)(H2O). It belongs to the triclinic crystal system and crystallizes in the triclinic-pedial space group. This mineral is characterized by its yellow to yellow-green color, vitreous luster, and relatively low hardness. It has a specific gravity that is typical of uranyl sulfates, which are generally light for their size. Meisserite is classified as a uranyl sulfate hydrate, a group of minerals containing the uranyl ion (UO2^2+), sulfate ions, and water molecules in their crystal structure.
