It typically forms either clusters of radial acicular crystals,[2] microcrystals, or a coating on top of the altered specimens.

It has a very strong, 2,893,809.61 radioactivity measured in Gamma Ray American Petroleum Institute Units caused by its uranium concentration.

Water molecules are in the lead interlayer ions' coordination structure and reinforce it with hydrogen bonding between the uranyl silicate sheets.

Its large mechanical isotropy can be explained due to the strong dual hydrogen bonding between the uranyl silicate sheets.

As the fluids pass through fractures, approaching the surface, the pH and the oxygen fugacity increases due to the loss of volatile components.

The fluorine ion activity decays due to the precipitation of fluorite and the dilution of the hydrothermal solutions, which both contribute to temperature decrease.
