A rare mineral or a geological formation; a technical term in mineralogy or paleontology.
Possibly from a proper name (Beyrich) plus the mineralogical suffix '-ite,' though the exact etymology is uncertain.
Scientists name minerals after discoverers or locations—'beyrichite' might be named after a geologist named Beyrich, but even geologists struggle to find it in modern references.
