Deliensite

Deliensite

Deliensite is a rare hydrous silicate mineral found in metamorphic rocks under high-pressure conditions. It has a monoclinic crystal structure and typically forms colorless to pale yellow or brownish prismatic crystals. The mineral is not widely used commercially due to its rarity and relatively soft nature, but it is of interest to mineral collectors and those studying metamorphic geology.

This is a Uranium bearing mineral, and is radioactive.
