"Urusovite" is a rare mineral with only a few well-known occurrences worldwide. As such, there are not many synonyms for this term. One of the most commonly used alternative names for urusovite is "uranovyite," which references its uranium content. Other similar minerals include torbernite, autunite, and meta-autunite, which are all phosphates of uranium. However, these minerals have different chemical compositions and crystal structures than urusovite. In terms of appearance, urusovite can be mistaken for other greenish-brown minerals such as olivenite, libethenite, and conichalcite. Despite its scarcity, urusovite remains an important mineral for researchers studying the behavior and properties of uranium in geological systems.
