A mineral; a type of silicate that occurs in metamorphic rocks.
From the place name Foras (likely Scandinavia) + -lite (suffix meaning stone/mineral, from Greek lithos). Named after the location where it was discovered.
Foralite is a reminder that thousands of minerals exist beyond the famous ones—geologists are constantly discovering and naming new minerals, though many have never been heard of outside the field.
