TORBERNITE ? ( uranium )West of Blue Sky's Corvoco claims lies - Pata Mora. Pata has the peachy pink geology similar to Corvoco.
What else does Pata Mora have ? Deep
rich green silicate rocks imbedded in calcs and peacy looking - feldspars ?
At first i thought the deep green chunks were shrubs.
Upon further scrutiny - i was able to find certain zones that provided better visuals.
Pata Mora is
littered with massive greenstone crystal type gem looking rocks.
Loose - Imbedded - even Veined - greenstone throught the peachy host rock.
Blue Sky has made mention of, uranium is in the red sands.
These peachy outcrops do have a tinge of red similar to Corvoco's pale peachy sands.
Feldspar style uranium.
What could the deep lusterous green gem rocks be ? I tried searching online for deep green silicous uranium.
Found this....
Torbernite
Torbernite is a popular mineral among collectors who seek uranium bearing minerals. Its square tabular crystals are distinctive, but might remind someone of the mineral wulfenite, if not for the green color of torbernite. Autunite is a structurally related mineral that also forms square tabular crystals, but they are not typically solid green and autunite is fluorescent in UV light.
The structure of torbernite is composed of phosphate tetrahedrons linked to uranium-oxygen groups that form distorted octahedrons. The phosphates and uranium groups lie in sheets that are weakly held together by water molecules. This structure produces the tabular habit, the one perfect direction of cleavage and the relative softness.

Chemical Formula: Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2
-
Notable Occurences include Cornwall, England; Mitchell Co., North Carolina and Utah, USA; Shaba, Zaire; Germany and France.
-
Best Field Indicators are color, crystal habit, non-fluorescence, radioactivity, associations and brittle cleavage sheets.

Look what's below the silicate uranium green. = peachy geology.
Inset images is as close as i could get. Those deep green spots are -------> green stone rocks. some 1 meter wide - everywhere.
Question becomes.... are they uranium bearing ?
What's rather interesting..
green rocks are even in the host white and grey geology.
Yes.... i'm still partial to my other find...Gdor Ayala
Bright lime greens - could be potassium -----> most often has the uranium
GDOR AYALA Correction
Title of previous post should've read 109 km
Don't even ask....lol ( ugh )
And.... i still can't find the other km / mialage screen shot of Gdor Ayala.
I know i took two screen shots of Gdor - guess my computer stuck it in another file which it
does from time to time.
Hopefully my posts...
have entertained shareholders ( bide some time ) till next incoming press release.
Always good to learn about the surrounding geology.
Cheers....
