Tyuya-Muyun Cu-V-U Deposit (Radium Mine), Alai (Alay) Range, Osh Oblast, Kyrgyzstan

Tyuya Muyun deposit (also known as 'Tyuya-Muyun Hill') is located in the southern Fergana valley, about 30 kilometers southwest of Osh [This is doubtful, as the Fergana Valley is located about 120 km WSW of Osh - PH].

The matrix of specimens from here can consist of white or pinkish marble, transparent colourless calcite, red barite veins, or massive green tangeite ore.
