  • Minéralogie
DEF

Minéral du système orthorhombique constitué de vanadate hydraté naturel de calcium et d'uranyle se présentant en petites écailles plates, en agrégats radiés, ou encore sous forme compacte, de couleur jaune.

CONT

La tyuyamunite est, en général, liée à la carnotite dans ses gisements sédimentaires. On passe facilement de l'une à l'autre d'ailleurs par échange de base, en présence d'une solution concentrée de sels de K ou de Ca, selon le cas.
