JWHITE-16 - Vanoxite in Sandstone with Carnotite - $ 100 Uravan, Montrose Co., Colorado, USA small cabinet, 7.5 x 5.7 x 4.2 cm ex. John White
Vanoxite is a vanadium oxide with water that is , I think, the vanadium equivalent of rust or of rustlike mineral species we see commonly with iron and manganese. However, it seems fairly uncommon. Apparently because it does not crystallize, its IMA status is listed as Questionable/Doubtful as a species although that is a supposition. In any case, the material is present here as dark material in the matrix of carnotite (for which this is an excellent reference specimen)
