Errite

/ɛˈraɪt/ noun

Definition

A rare mineral or geological specimen, though its exact composition and properties are not commonly documented in standard references.

Etymology

Likely derived from a proper name or geographical location with the mineral suffix '-ite', which is standard for naming minerals. However, this is an extremely obscure term.

Kelly Says

Some mineral names are so rare and specialized that even mineral collectors have never heard of them—'errite' might be one of those forgotten names from an old geological survey!
