A mineral or rock type, likely a variant or alternate name for a geological specimen.
Follows the Latin and Greek pattern of mineral naming with the suffix '-ite,' common in mineralogy since the 18th century.
Mineral names ending in '-ite' often honor geologists or locations—cundite's obscurity suggests it may have been named for someone now forgotten, or it was simply replaced by better terminology!
