A type of rock that is almost entirely composed of the mineral albite, creating an extremely light-colored, nearly pure albite stone.
From albite + '-ite' (rock suffix), following mineralogical nomenclature where '-ite' denotes a rock type composed primarily of a specific mineral.
Albitite is so pure that it's nearly white and sometimes so uniform it looks artificial—miners can sometimes extract it for industrial uses because of its singular composition.
