Tretite

Tretite is a name that has appeared in a small number of historical references as a mineral species. In contemporary mineralogical references, tretite is not listed as a valid mineral name, and there is no widely accessible, peer‑reviewed description of its composition, structure, or occurrence. As a result, reliable data such as a chemical formula, crystal system, hardness, or typical locality are not available. It is possible that tretite represents a misidentification, a nomenclatural variant of a known mineral, or a proposed name that did not gain formal acceptance.

If tretite is or was intended to designate a specific mineral, a formal description would typically include the type locality, a crystallographic classification (crystal system and space group), the chemical composition and any solid solution, physical properties (Mohs hardness, cleavage, luster), optical properties if applicable, and the paragenesis and associated minerals in which it occurs.

Until verifiable information is published in reliable sources, tretite should be regarded as an unresolved or unconfirmed name. Researchers and readers are advised to consult standard mineral databases or scholarly articles for confirmation, or to provide verifiable references if new information becomes available.
