Geologie & Herkunft
Clinobisvanite is a rare vanadate mineral that forms in the oxidized zones of vanadium-rich deposits. It develops through secondary processes in which primary ore minerals are altered by oxygen-bearing fluids. The Londonderry region in Western Australia is known for complex oxidized ore systems where a variety of rare vanadate and associated minerals can form.
