Cu(UO2)2(AsO4)2.10H2O
Tetragonal
Metazeunerite, a copper uranium arsenate hydrate mineral, was found by Ewald Gerstmann on a specimen from Sterling Hill. Metazeunerite occurs as light-green tabular crystals, square to rectangular in habit, with a decidedly pearly luster on {001}. It was associated with sarkinite and willemite in a vein in red- willemite ore. It can be confused with metalodevite; X-ray and chemical tests are best for verification. It has not been reported from Franklin.
