/ˈeɪnəlʌɪt/Mineralogy rare

A variety of cassiterite containing iron and tantalum.
Origin
Mid 19th century; earliest use found in James Dana (1813–1895), geologist, zoologist, and teacher. From Swedish ainalit, apparently irregularly from Finnish aina always, constantly + Swedish -lit. The mineral was so named on account of its resistance to solvents.
