Rameauite
Rameauite is a rare hydrated potassium calcium uranyl hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula K2Ca(H3O)(H5O4)[(UO2)6O6(OH)4](H4O). It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and is classified as a uranyl hydroxide within the Strunz classification (4.GB.05) and the Dana classification (5.5.2.1). This mineral typically exhibits a white to pale yellow color, a vitreous to pearly luster, and a relatively low hardness. It has a low to moderate density and is generally found in uranium-rich environments. Rameauite is notable for its complex hydration and structural arrangement involving uranyl ions.
