/ˈməˌlaɪt/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Mull , -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < Mull, the name of an island off the west coast of Scotland where the silicate was first identified (see quot. 1924) + -ite suffix¹.

Mineralogy.

An orthorhombic silicate of aluminium, Al₆Si₂O₁₃, that is formed by the action of high temperatures on other aluminium silicates and is used for making refractory porcelains and bricks.
