A type of mineral that is a magnesium iron silicate, usually brown or bronze-colored, found in igneous rocks.
From 'bronze' (the metal or color) plus the mineral suffix -ite, which indicates a mineral or rock. Named for its bronze or brownish color resembling the metal bronze.
Bronzite is actually a meteorite mineral—some of the bronze-colored pebbles scientists find in deserts might be pieces of ancient asteroids that crashed to Earth millions of years ago!
