Torbernite: History & Measurement

Torbernite, also known as chalcolite, is a relatively common mineral with the chemical formula Cu2·12H2O. It is a radioactive, hydrated green copper uranyl phosphate, found in granites and other uranium-bearing deposits as a secondary mineral. The chemical formula of torbernite is similar to that of autunite in which a Cu2+ cation replaces a Ca2+ cation.…
