Definition
A rare mineral form, though often cited in older mineralogical texts; possibly a misidentified or obsolete mineral name from classical geology.
Etymology
Derived from Greek 'katapleein' (to strike down or astound), suggesting something remarkable or striking in appearance. The term may have been applied to a mineral based on its visual properties but has fallen out of modern usage.
Kelly Says
Old mineralogy texts sometimes named minerals based on appearance alone, and many of these names were abandoned when scientists could actually analyze the chemical composition—'cataplea' is likely one of these forgotten fossil names from the history of mineral identification.
