Asiderite

/æsɪˈdɛraɪt/ noun

A mineral or rock formation; possibly a specific geological specimen with a technical name from 19th-century mineralogy.

Likely from 'acid' or a Greek root + '-ite' (a common suffix in mineralogy meaning a mineral or rock type, as in 'granite'). This appears to be a very rare or obsolete mineralogical term.
