Definition
A rare blue or purple silicate mineral containing sodium, potassium, calcium, and aluminum.
Etymology
From 'cancrine' (resembling a crab) plus '-ite' (mineral suffix). Named because of some resemblance to a crab, or possibly named to honor a person or place with 'cancr-' in the name.
Kelly Says
Cancrinite is so rare that most mineralogists never see it—it's a beautiful blue crystal named with a 2,000-year-old word for crab, turning ancient zoology into permanent stone geology.
