What is another word for Torbernite?
Pronunciation: [tˈɔːbənˌa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Torbernite is a radioactive mineral that is often found in association with copper deposits. Synonyms for the word "torbernite" include copper uranite, copper pitchblende, and uranocopper pitchblende. Copper uranite refers to the mineral's copper content, while copper pitchblende and uranocopper pitchblende both reference the mineral's pitch-black color and its uranium content. Torbernite is also known as torbenite in some regions, and its chemical formula is Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2•8-12H2O. It is primarily used as a specimen for mineral collectors, but it has also been used in the past as a source of uranium for nuclear reactors. However, its radioactivity also makes it a hazardous material to handle.
