A mineral consisting of tellurium and silver, often found in certain ore deposits.
Named after the Hesse region (Hessen) in Germany, where the mineral was discovered and studied. The -ite suffix indicates a mineral or rock type.
Hessites are relatively rare minerals that contain tellurium, one of the least abundant elements in Earth's crust—finding one is like discovering a geological lottery ticket!
