A rare mineral composed of titanium oxide and other elements, found in volcanic or metamorphic rocks.
Named mineralogically (likely 19th century) with -ite suffix (mineral designation) and a root possibly honoring a person or place named Cossy, following standard mineral nomenclature conventions.
Geologists name minerals like they're collecting baseball cards—cossyrite's -ite ending tells you it's a mineral, while the 'cossy' part records someone's name or a discovery location, creating a permanent geological archive.
