Formula:

Cu₄Fe³⁺O₂(V₂O₇)(VO₄)

Colour:

Iron-black to reddish-black

Lustre:

Sub-Metallic

Specific Gravity:

4.10 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Name:

The name is derived from the Greek word καινóτρoπoς, unusual, in allusion to its uncommon (for natural vanadates) anionic composition: it is the first mineral containing both pyrovanadate (V₂O₇)^4– and orthovanadate (VO₄)^3– anions.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Yadovitaya fumarole, Second scoria cone, Northern Breakthrough (North Breach), Great Fissure eruption (Main Fracture), Tolbachik Volcanic field, Milkovsky District, Kamchatka Krai, Russia

New structure type.
Other minerals containing copper and divanadate group: blossite, engelhauptite, volborthite, ziesite.
