I finally made the Uranophane haha! Thank you @p3p0t0 for the suggestion!

Uranophane’s weapon is metallic claws, Since uranophane is a highly radioactive gem, he cant be around humans long but its best for him, he doesn't like humans anyway

funfact: Urano has a 6 pack ~

Uranophane is a rare calcium uranium silicate hydrate mineral that forms from the oxidation of uranium bearing minerals. Uranophane is also known as uranotile. It has a yellow colour and is radioactive.

Uranophane-β is the dimorph of uranophane.

Uranophane is a rare calcium uranium silicate hydrate mineral that forms from the oxidation of uranium bearing minerals. Uranophane is also known as uranotile. It has a yellow color and is radioactive.

Torbernite is a radioactive, hydrated green copper uranyl phosphate mineral, found in granites and other uranium-bearing deposits as a secondary mineral.

Bouth minerals contain uranium - always wash hands after handling. Avoid inhaling dust when handling or breaking. Never lick or ingest. Avoid prolonged exposure in proximity of the body. Store away from inhabited areas.
