Gurimite is a rare mineral with formula Ba3(VO4)2.[1][2] It is a simple barium vanadate, one of the most simple barium minerals known.[2] It is named after its type locality - Gurim anticline in Israel. It has formed in the rocks of the Hatrurim Formation.[1] Gurimite's stoichiometry is similar to that of copper vanadates mcbirneyite and pseudolyonsite.[4][5] An example of other barium vanadate mineral is tokyoite.[6]
