kozulite

English

Etymology

Named after Japanese mineralogist at Tohoku University Shukusuke Kozu (1880–1955), but discredited as a name in 2012, where it was renamed mangano-ferri-eckermannite for nomenclature systematicity. The suffix -lite is from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos, “stone”) for it being a mineral.

Noun

kozulite

  1. (mineralogy, outdated) A monoclinic-prismatic mineral containing aluminum, hydrogen, iron, manganese, oxygen, silicon, and sodium.

Synonyms

  • mangano-ferri-eckermannite
