Uranium Oxides

Mary Kathleen

On one of the benches around the Mary K open cut you will find this yellow and black crystalline substance leaching and forming on the rock with the seeping water. This may well be a form of yellow cake, containing uranium oxide among other things. Maybe you could collect some for use in a pottery glaze. Although this may not be a safe practise.
