A rare mineral composed of iron sulfide with a specific crystalline structure, found in meteorites and iron-rich geological formations.
Named after the mineralogist or geologist Daubrée (likely Gabriel-Auguste Daubée, 19th century French scientist), with mineral suffix '-ite'. Follows the convention of naming minerals after discoverers or scientists.
Scientists name minerals after themselves or colleagues—daubreeite is basically a cosmic microbe named after a guy, preserved in stone for eternity as a mineral specimen!
