Jolliffeite Eskebornite
Comments: Back-scattered electron image of jolliffeite in sulfurian eskebornite. Note the cracked appearance and the different brightness of eskebornite, which is a reflection of variable ratio of selenium to sulfur. (CanMin v 42, p 844).
Location: Niederschlema-Alberoda uranium deposit, in the Erzgebirge region of Germany.
Scale: See Image.
