A mineral or rock that contains nitrogen-based compounds or azo chemical groups.
From 'azo-' (nitrogen) + '-ite' (mineral suffix), following the standard mineralogical naming convention established in the 18th-19th centuries for naming minerals based on their chemical composition.
While most 'azorite' references appear in older chemical literature, the naming pattern shows how mineralogy borrowed chemical language—turning lab compounds into hypothetical rock names that scientists could theoretically find in nature.
