An Entity of Type: mineral, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Demesmaekerite is a rare uranium selenite mineral with the chemical formula: Pb2Cu5(UO2)2(SeO3)6(OH)6·2H2O. It is named after the Belgian mineralogist Gaston Demesmaeker, who worked at the Musonoi Mine in Katanga. It is a secondary mineral which contains lead, copper and selenium, it is a bottle green to brown/yellow color, its crystal habit varies depending on where it is found. It has pleochroic attributes, which means depending on which axis it is seen, the gem displays different colors, which is an optical phenomenon. On the X axis it displays a yellow-green color, and on the Y the gem is seen in a brown color. Demesmaekerite has a very strong radioactivity, 1,629,108.74, measured in GRapi (Gamma Ray American Petroleum Institute Units). It is mostly made out of oxygen (22.1%), uranium

Demesmaekerite has a very strong radioactivity, 1,629,108.74, measured in GRapi (Gamma Ray American Petroleum Institute Units). It is mostly made out of oxygen (22.1%), uranium (21.92%) which causes its irradiative attributes, selenium (21.81%), lead (19.08%) which is a poisonous chemical element and copper (14.63%), but also contains hydrogen (0.46%). It can be found associated with other rare selenium-bearing uranium ores, such as , guilleminite, marthozite and . (en)
  • Demesmaekerit ist ein sehr selten vorkommendes Uran-Mineral aus der Mineralklasse der „Oxide und Hydroxide“ (einschließlich V[5,6]-Vanadate, Arsenite, Antimonite, Bismutite, Sulfite, Selenite, Tellurite und Iodate). Es kristallisiert im triklinen Kristallsystem mit der chemischen Zusammensetzung Pb2Cu2(UO2)2(SeO3)6(OH)6·2H2O, ist also ein wasserhaltiges basisches Blei-Kupfer-Uranyl-Selenit. Demesmaekerit entwickelt flaschengrüne gespitzte Kristalle, die sich mit zunehmender Dehydratisierung teilweise bräunlich verfärben. Es ist weltweit bisher von nur drei Fundorten bekannt. (de)
