A rare mineral containing vanadium that forms in oxidized deposits of vanadium-bearing ores.
Named after Cebolla, Colorado, USA, where it was first discovered; -ite is the standard suffix for naming minerals (from Greek lithos meaning 'stone').
Cebollite is so rare that you could spend your whole life as a geologist and never see a real specimen—it only forms under very specific chemical conditions where vanadium-rich rocks have been altered by weathering.
