A rare mineral composed of calcium aluminum sulfate, named after its discoverer or the location where it was first found.
Derived from a proper name (likely 'Alison') + '-ite' (mineral suffix). Minerals named after people or places follow this '-ite' convention in mineralogy.
Alisonite is so rare that most geologists will never see an actual specimen—it exists in museums as tiny crystals, a reminder that Earth still has thousands of minerals waiting in caves to be discovered.
