smaltiten.

Brit.

/ˈsmɔːltʌɪt/,

/ˈsmɒltʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈsmɔlˌtaɪt/,

/ˈsmɑlˌtaɪt/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: smalt n., -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < smalt n. + -ite suffix¹, after German Smaltit, itself after post-classical Latin smaltites (both in E. F. Glocker Generum et specierum mineralium secundem ordines naturales digestorum synopsis (1847) 35). The mineral was so named because it was used in the preparation of smalt. Compare French smaltite (1864 or earlier). Compare earlier smaltine n.

Mineralogy.

A greyish-white metallic mineral consisting chiefly of cobalt arsenide, occurring as cubic or octahedral crystals and as compact or granular masses; (also) = skutterudite n.Smaltite is a variety of skutterudite typically containing some iron and nickel and a reduced proportion of arsenic. Crystal system: cubic.
