1963J. V. P. Long et al. in Amer. Mineralogist XLVIII. 40 Electron microprobe analyses and the crystallographic data obtained suggest the existence of a new vanadium mineral, V2O3, isostructural with hematite, eskolaite and corundum. The name karelianite, after the region of Finland in which the Outokumpu mine is situated, is proposed for this mineral, the name to be applied to the pure end member. 1967Mineral. Abstr. XVIII. 282/2 Three principal minerals compose the dominantly vanadiferous ores [at Mounana, Gabon]—karelianite, montroseite, and roscoelite. Karelianite, rarely more than 0·5 mm in size, occurs as grains in the grit cement or as blades forming 60° stars in quartz. |
