cliftoniten.

Brit.

/ˈklɪft(ə)nʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈklɪftəˌnaɪt/

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

Etymology: < the name of Robert Bellamy Clifton (1836–1921), English physicist + -ite suffix¹.Clifton was Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford; among his fields of study were the physical properties of minerals. Compare the following isolated earlier example of cliftonite referring to a different mineral ( < Clifton, the name of an area in Bristol, England):1858 R. P. Greg & W. G. Lettsom Man. Mineral. 443 Calcareo-sulphate of strontian..Has also been called Cliftonite, from near Bristol; it is impure celestine.

Mineralogy.

A pseudomorphic form of graphite occurring as small cubic crystals in iron meteorites.

1967 Science 12 May 820/2 We therefore propose that cliftonite in meteorites was formed by the diffusion of carbon..to nucleation sites, and subsequent growth of graphite in cubic morphology.

2002 E. Erlich & W. Dan Hausel Diamond Deposits iii. x. 161 Some meteorites also contain graphite and cliftonite.
