A rare mineral composed of iron phosphate, named after the Arrojada region in Brazil where it was discovered.
From Arrojada, a location in Brazil, + -ite (mineralogical suffix meaning 'stone' or 'mineral'). Mineralite names often honor discovery locations following German mineralogical naming conventions from the 1800s.
Arrojadite was discovered relatively recently (1930s) and is so rare that finding even a tiny crystal is exciting for mineral collectors—it's basically nature's hidden treasure.
