A dark mineral form of sodium iron silicate that occurs in igneous rocks; also called aegirine.
From Greek 'akmē' (point or edge), referring to the sharp crystal formations this mineral typically displays.
Acmite crystals form needle-like points so sharp they were historically called 'aegirine needles,' and these formations are prized by rock collectors because they're relatively rare and create stunning geometric patterns in volcanic rocks.
