Zn(UO2)2(AsO4)2.10H2O
Tetragonal
Metalodevite, a zinc uranium arsenate hydrate mineral, was listed from Sterling Hill by Parker and Troy (1982) and verified by the writer. It occurs as 1-2 mm, platy, rectangular, subvitreous to pearly-lustered, bright yellow crystals in vugs in a stark white, deeply corroded, vuggy carbonate vein from the 340 level at Sterling Hill. Partial analyses indicate some substitution of Mn, with Zn:Mn approximately 3:1. Metalodevite fluoresces a very weak pale-green color in shortwave ultraviolet (pers. comm., R. C. Bostwick). X-ray and chemical methods are suggested for verification. Metalodevite has not been reported from Franklin.
