Montroseite from
Bitter Creek Mine, Paradox Valley, Uravan Mining District, Montrose County, Colorado, USA


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Montroseite
Formula:(V3+,Fe3+)O(OH)
Comments:The Bitter Creek mine is the type locality for montroseite (Weeks and others, 1950, 1953). The microscopic, bladed prismatic crystals and compact crystalline aggregates of montroseite were also noted by Heyl (1957).
