Definition
A rare mineral form of calcium and manganese carbonate found in certain metamorphic rocks.
Etymology
Named after a person (likely named Erik) who discovered or studied it + -ite (mineral suffix). Follows standard mineralogical naming conventions.
Kelly Says
Minerals get named after the people who discover them—so somewhere there's a geologist named Erik who found a rock cool enough to have his name on it forever!
