sillimaniten.

Brit.

/ˈsɪlᵻmənʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈsɪləməˌnaɪt/

Forms: 1800s– sillimanite, 1800s– sillimannite.

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

Etymology: < the name of Benjamin Silliman (1779–1864), U.S. chemist and geologist, in whose laboratory the first specimens were studied + -ite suffix¹.

Mineralogy.

An aluminosilicate mineral which occurs as slender colourless prisms and in fibrous masses, and is a common constituent of metamorphic rocks, esp. gneiss.Chemical formula: Al₂SiO₅. Crystal system: orthorhombic.
