Vanadium (V) is a hard but malleable silver-grey metal. It rarely occurs in nature in its pure metallic form, but is commonly found as a compound in other minerals. Vanadium-bearing minerals, such as vanadinite (Pb 5 (VO 4) 3 Cl), patronite (VS 4) and carnotite (K 2 (UO 2) 2 (VO 4) 2 ·3H 2 O) have been mined historically.
