Minerals Species:      SCHROECKINGERITE                                 

Location of Mineral Deposit:   RED DESERT, SWEETWATER COUNTY, WYOMING

Description:  These specimens of Schroeckingerite are found in gypsum clay and Fluoresce and brilliant Turquoise Blue / Greenish color under both the Short Wave and Long Wave Ultra Violet Light.

Schroeckingerite is a Hydrated Sodium Calcium Uranyl Sulfate Carbonate Fluoride.  It got it's name from Julius Freiherr Schrockinger von Neudenberg(1814-1882), Austrian geologist, discovered Uranium at Jochymov, Bohemia, Czech Republic.

It is a relatively rare mineral and is especially so in the crystal form that this specimen is.  It forms as round pellets in a gypsum clay.  Elsewhere, it occurs as a thin coating on other rocks.

This mineral was once known as Dakeite named in honor of the famous mineralogist, H.C. Dake.  It was later found to be schroeckingerite and the name dakeite was dropped.

Do not get this specimen wet as the schroeckingerite will dissolve in water.  Avoid excessive handling as the gypsum clay is crumbly.
