A type of mineral; a rare iron sulfide compound found in certain geological deposits.
From the prefix co- (indicating composition with multiple elements) plus -vite (a mineralogical suffix), likely named by a mineralogist to describe its composition.
Covite is so rare that mineral collectors consider it a prize find—it forms only under very specific chemical conditions deep underground where iron and sulfur combine in unusual ways!
