Ametite

Ametite is not a term recognized as a mineral or chemical substance in contemporary geology or chemistry. No standard reference lists ametite as an approved mineral name, a defined chemical species, or a gemstone variety. In published scholarship, the term has not been used to describe a material with an established chemical formula or crystal structure.

In informal contexts, ametite may be encountered as a misspelling or misnomination for related terms such as amethyst or other minerals with the -ite suffix. The name resembles common mineral-naming patterns, but there is no widely accepted etymology or application for ametite.

Because there is no validated identity, there are no documented properties, locality data, crystallography, or chemical data for ametite. Major reference databases and mineral catalogues such as Mindat, Webmineral, and the IMA-approved mineral-names list do not recognize ametite.

If ametite appears in a scholarly or technical work, it should be accompanied by a precise definition, including chemical composition, crystallography, and provenance, to establish whether it is a misspelling, a proposed name, or a fictional construct.
