A rare mineral consisting of hydrated nickel sulfate, named after its discoverer or location.
Named after Haughton, using the mineralogical suffix '-ite' (from Greek 'lithos' meaning stone). The '-onite' ending follows the convention of naming minerals after people or places with '-ite.'
Haughtonite is so obscure that it appears in exactly zero conversations outside of mineralogy labs—it's a word that exists solely because scientists need names for every crystal they discover, no matter how rare.
