A rare mineral of the titanium oxide group found in metamorphic rocks.
Named with the suffix '-ite' (common for minerals) in reference to Canadian geological discoveries. The name reflects 19th-century tradition of naming minerals after locations where they were found.
Canadite is so rare that most geologists have never seen a specimen—it's the kind of mineral that exists mainly in scientific papers and museum databases, a triumph of naming conventions over actual abundance!
