Weeksite has a Mohs hardness of 1-2. It was named for USGS mineralogist Alice Mary Dowse Weeks (1909–1988).[2][3] AppearanceWeeksite is visually similar to other uranium minerals such as carnotite and zippeite, both being encrustations that form on other rocks (usually sandstones or limestones). OccurrenceWeeksite was first described in 1960 for an occurrence on Topaz Mountain, Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah.[1] Weeksite occurs within small "opal" veins within rhyolite and agglomerates, and as encrustations in sandstones and limestones. It occurs associated with opal, chalcedony, calcite, gypsum, fluorite, uraninite, thorogummite, uranophane, boltwoodite, carnotite and margaritasite.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.mindat.org/min-4255.html |title=Weeksite mineral information and data |publisher=Mindat.org |date=2011-06-19 |accessdate=2012-02-10}} {{Silicate-mineral-stub}}2. ^1 2 Handbook of Mineralogy 3. ^1 Webmineral data for weeksite 4 : Uranium minerals|Potassium minerals|Nesosilicates|Orthorhombic minerals |
