Forms: 1800s centralasite, 1800s centralassite, 1800s– centrallassite, 1800s– centrallasite.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek κέντρον , Greek ἀλλάσσειν , -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < ancient Greek κέντρον centre n.¹ + ἀλλάσσειν to change (see allactite n.) + -ite suffix¹. The mineral is so called because its change of colour to white begins at the centre.

Mineralogy. Now disused.

A hydrous silicate of lime, subsequently identified with gyrolite.
