MD-270239 - Tyuyamunite - - Archived Tyuya-Muyun Cu-V-U Deposit (Radium Mine), Alai (Alay) Range, Osh Oblast, Kyrgyzstan small cabinet, 7.8 x 6.8 x 5.5 cm.
7.8 x 6.8 x 5.5 cm. Canary-yellow microcrystals of tyuyamunite richly cover the Carboniferous limestone matrix on this historic, old-time specimen from the Type Locality in Kyrgyzstan. Tyuyamunite was discovered in 1912 and was reported in the St. Petersburg Academy of Russia Bulletin. We believe the old label is from the St. Petersburg Academy and that the Philadelphia Academy acquired this specimen soon thereafter. Certainly prior to World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution. We have never seen a specimen from this very rare locality before and consider it fairly important, scientifically.

MD-70412 - Tyuyamunite - - Archived Grants District, Cibola Co., New Mexico, USA thumbnail, 1.0 x 0.7 x 0.4cm
Tyuyamunite is a rare Calcium Uranium Vanadate. This species is well known for it''s amazing neon yellow color. This piece is for all intensive purposes, a micromount specimen, but is nonetheless a good crystallized example featuring hundreds of small, platy bright neon yellow blades of Tyuyamunite on matrix. I have only seen a few specimens of this material from this locality, and this piece is approximately 40 years old based upon the age of the Pat Gross collection that had pieces dating from the late 1930''s up to the 1980''s. 1.0 x 0.7 x 0.4cm
