Pidurite

Pidurite is not a recognized mineral species in major mineralogical reference databases or by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). As of 2024, there is no verified published description, chemical formula, crystal structure, or official locality associated with a mineral named pidurite. Because of the lack of peer‑reviewed information and formal validation, pidurite does not have an established place in standard classifications or mineral catalogs.

What is known about pidurite in reputable sources is minimal or nonexistent. The name may occasionally appear in informal labels, local notes, or non-peer‑reviewed publications, where it could refer to a specimen with uncertain identity, a provisional name, or a fictional/material designation outside the scope of established mineral science. In such cases, any claim about composition, color, hardness, or crystal habit would be unverified and not suitable for citation in a scholarly context.

Etymology and origins of the name pidurite are unclear. Without a formal description or a published type locality, it is not possible to assign a definite mineral class or to provide reliable physical or chemical properties.
