Autunite/meta-autunite can become orange due to the presence of impurities such as iron, manganese, or other rare earth elements that can alter the reflection of light absorbed.

This specimen was stabilized with Paraloid B-72,  a commonly used conservation material in the field of mineral preservation, providing excellent protective qualities for stabilization, rigidity, and long-term conservation. The stabilization process results in a specimen that will not fall apart or lose flakes like autunite can if neglected.

Our autunite pieces without any matrix are priced between $10 to $17.50 per gram.
