Plural of dehaite; a mineral compound containing lead and copper, found in ore deposits.
Named after a specific mineral composition (likely from 'de' prefix and a root referring to its composition), this is a technical mineralogical term from 19th-century geology.
Dehaites are incredibly rare secondary minerals that form when primary ore deposits weather over thousands of years—collectors prize them because they're beautiful and scientifically interesting!
