Kasolite
Something I made for a collab on Instagram
(Edit: changed a few small things, most notably the bottom of pants)
Kasolite Musonoi Mine, Kolwesi, Katanga, Congo (Democratic Republic) (former Zaire)
Wulfenite, Kasolite
Pb(MoO4), Pb(UO2)[SiO4]·H2O
Locality:
Musonoi Mine (Musonoi Extension Mine), Kolwezi, Kolwezi District, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre)

Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral. A secondary mineral formed in the oxidized zone of hydrothermal lead deposits, the molybdenum commonly introduced externally. Some individual crystals may be piezoelectric. Decomposed by evaporation in HCl with the separation of lead chloride and molybdic oxide. Soluble in concentrated H2SO4 and alkalies. Decomposed by HNO3 with the separation of molybdic oxide.
Kasolite an oxidization product of uraninite.
From Mindat.Org Photo Of The Day; February 18, 2018:
Kasolite: Pb(UO2)[SiO4]·H2O; Quartz: SiO2
Locality: Red Hills, Derry District, Sierra Co., New Mexico, USA
“These yellow kasolites and quartz crystals were collected on 9/10/2016. They are associated with pinkish-red microcline and what looks like goethite.” Collected by:Jerry Cone
