Batukite

Definition

A rare mineral composed of barium, titanium, and oxygen.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Batukite is the kind of mineral that only mineralogists get excited about—it's so rare that most people will never see a sample, yet it still earned its own place in the official mineral registry.
