Minguzzite is a rare mineral that was first discovered in Italy in 1934. The word is spelled with two z's despite the fact that most words in English only use one. This is because it is derived from the Italian surname, Minguzzi, and in Italian, double z's are common. The phonetic transcription of "minguzzite" is /mɪŋɡuːzaɪt/, with emphasis on the second syllable. Its chemical composition is complex, consisting of elements such as copper, sulfur, and oxygen, and it is typically used in geology research.
