gedrite
A mineral name; a magnesium-rich amphibole. Used in geological and mineralogical contexts.
Gedrite is a type of amphibole found in metamorphic rocks.
The Japanese name 礬土直閃石 is a direct translation of the mineral name 'gedrite', composed of 礬土 (alumina) + 直閃石 (anthophyllite), reflecting its chemical composition and relation to anthophyllite. The exact historical derivation of the Japanese term is uncertain.
