Extract

Tyuyamunite from Tyuya-Muyun was established as a mineral species by K. A. Nenadkevich in 1912. It is closely allied to carnotite, differing from this in containing calcium in place of potassium, and also, according to W. F. Hillebrand, in the degree of hydration. On this account the mineral has been also known as calciocarnotite.
