Condurrite

/ˈkɒnduːraɪt/ noun

Definition

A mineral or geological formation, though details remain unclear in standard geological databases.

Etymology

Likely derived from a place name (Condurra or similar) combined with the -ite suffix common in mineralogy, following the convention of naming minerals after their locations.

Kelly Says

Sometimes geological terms vanish from use—condurrite might be an obsolete mineral name, showing how science constantly reorganizes and renames things as we understand them better.
