A mineral composed of lead, copper, and oxygen; a rare oxide mineral.
Named after a location or person (likely from a Slavic or Eastern European place name ending in '-ite,' which is the standard suffix for minerals in scientific nomenclature).
Mineral names ending in '-ite' follow a 200-year tradition of geologists naming new minerals after their discovery locations or famous scientists—and 'chusite' is one of thousands of these geological memorials!
