A mineral variant or related form of bytownite, part of the plagioclase feldspar group.
Derived from 'bytownite' with an additional '-ite' suffix, creating a double mineralogical suffix pattern. This naming convention indicates either a distinct variety or variant of bytownite.
Mineralogists sometimes get creative (or redundant!) with naming—adding extra suffixes like '-ite' to '-ite' creates these tongue-twister names that sound like they should be mythical creatures from fantasy novels!
