A rare or obsolete term for a mineral or crystalline substance, possibly related to a specific geographic location or historical mineralogical discovery.
From a place name or person's name plus the mineral suffix -ite, following standard mineralogical naming conventions used in older scientific literature.
Like coumbite, counite is likely a historical mineral name that fell out of use—geologists often rename minerals as they better understand their composition, leaving these old names as footnotes in dusty mineralogy textbooks!
