sericiten.

Brit.

/ˈsɛrɪsʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈsɛrəˌsaɪt/

Forms: 1800s sericit, 1800s– sericite.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: Latin sēricum , -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin sēricum silk (see Seric adj.) + -ite suffix¹, after German Sericit (K. List 1850, in Jahrbücher des Vereins für Naturkunde im Herzogthum Nassau 6 131; now usually Serizit). The mineral is so named on account of its silky lustre.

Mineralogy.

A fine-grained fibrous or scaly form of mica, typically consisting of muscovite and commonly produced by the hydrothermal alteration of feldspars.
