A rare mineral or geological term (possibly a suffix used in mineralogy, meaning a mineral or compound related to coxa or containing a particular element).
From 'cox-' (relating to hip or coxa) + '-ite' (a common mineralogical suffix indicating a mineral, stone, or disease). This is a technical term with unclear modern usage.
The '-ite' suffix is mineralogy's gift to word builders—rocks are named colemanite, tourmaline, and apophyllite, so coxite follows this ancient naming pattern even if the mineral itself might be obscure!
