A rare mineral; or a type of pottery decorated with dolphin motifs.
From delphin- (dolphin) + -ite (mineral or object suffix). Either mineralogical term or descriptive term for decorated pottery.
If delphinite is a mineral, it would be named in the tradition of mineralogy where names often reference their properties or origins—though actual delphinite references are quite rare.
