What is another word for artinite?
Pronunciation: [ˈɑːtɪnˌa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Artinite, a mineral that belongs to the carbonate family, is a relatively uncommon mineral that forms in caves and on rock surfaces. It is one of the several carbonate minerals rich in magnesium, and its name comes from the Latin word "arsenicum", which means 'white arsenic.' Other synonyms for artinite that are commonly used include mineral white, mineral wool, and mineral lacquer. Some even refer to it as magnesium carbonate hydroxide trihydrate. Despite the several synonyms available, the mineral is relatively unknown and thus not often discussed or researched as extensively as other more common minerals.
