The word "crerarite" is a mineral name that is spelled with the IPA phonetic transcription: /krəˈrɛrɪt/. This word is derived from the location where it was first discovered, Crerar Quarry in Ontario, Canada. Despite its complicated spelling, "crerarite" is pronounced with a stress on the second syllable and has a short "e" sound in the first and last syllables. This rare mineral is primarily composed of sulfur, copper, and zinc and is often found in volcanic environments.
