A colorless mineral composed of potassium sulfate, found in salt deposits and used in the production of fertilizers and explosives.
From Latin 'arcanus' (secret, mysterious) with the mineral suffix '-ite,' named after the secretive or hidden nature of minerals within the earth, or because its mineral properties were initially mysterious.
Arcanite is literally the mineral form of potassium sulfate, and it's absolutely crucial for global agriculture—most crops you eat exist because potassium sulfate fertilizers containing arcanite helped grow them!
