A rare mineral composed of calcium fluoride and carbonate, named after the fluellen plant and recognized by minerologists as a distinct crystalline substance.
Formed by adding the mineralogical suffix '-ite' to 'fluellen,' following the convention of naming minerals after plants, places, or people. This reflects 19th-century mineralogy's practice of creating scientific names.
Mineralogists named this rare crystal after a humble garden herb—it's a quirky tradition in geology where scientists honor everything from plants to famous people by crystallizing their names into mineral species!
