A mineral or geological specimen, or potentially a person native to Devon, England (rare usage).
Created by adding the -ite suffix (commonly used in mineralogy to name minerals and rocks) to Devon or Devonian, following the pattern of mineral naming conventions.
The -ite suffix is beloved by mineralogists—'magnetite,' 'hematite,' 'fluorite'—so if geologists found a unique mineral in Devon, 'devonite' would be the perfect scientific name for it.
