单词 zeagonite
释义

zeagoniten.

Brit. /zɪˈaɡənʌɪt/, U.S. /ziˈæɡəˌnaɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian zeagonite.
Etymology: < Italian zeagonite ( M. Tondi Elementi di orittognosia II. (1817) 347) < ancient Greek ζεῖν to boil (see zeolite n.) + ἄγονος barren ( < ἀ- a- prefix6 + γονή generation, offspring, semen: see gono- comb. form) + Italian -ite -ite suffix1.Tondi attributes the name zeagonite to C. G. Gismondi, who presented a paper ‘Osservazioni sopra alcuni minerali dei contorni di Roma’ to the members of the Accademia dei Lincei in 1816; it was published in 1817 ( Biblioteca italiana 5 301–12) but does not use the name zeagonite. According to Tondi, the supposed mineral is so named because it reacts with acids without effervescence.
Mineralogy. Now historical and rare.
A supposed zeolite mineral, later identified as a mixture of phillipsite with gismondine or levyne.
