Volborthite

Volborthite is a mineral containing copper and vanadium, with the formula Cu V O(O H)·2 HO. Found originally in 1838 in the Urals, it was first named knaufite but was later changed to volborthite for Alexander von Volborth (1800–1876), a Russian paleontologist.

Tangeite (synonym: calciovolborthite), CaCuVO(OH), is closely related.
