A rare mineral containing barium and silicate minerals, sometimes found in specialized geological formations.
Combining 'bary-' (relating to barium, from Greek 'barys') + 'silite' (from silicon + '-ite' mineral suffix). Named following the mineralogist convention of indicating key elements in the name.
Rare minerals like barysilite are usually found by accidental discovery in remote caves or mining sites, and they're so uncommon that scientists might study a single specimen for years to understand it!
