Correct spelling for the English word "notite" is [nˈə͡ʊta͡ɪt], [nˈəʊtaɪt], [n_ˈəʊ_t_aɪ_t] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Notite is a noun that refers to a type of igneous rock belonging to the pyroxenite group. It is composed primarily of the mineral notfeldspar, which in turn consists mainly of pyroxene minerals such as diopside and augite. Notite typically occurs in association with other ultramafic rocks, such as peridotite and dunite, and is characterized by its dark green to black color.
The term "notite" originates from the German word "Not," meaning emergency or distress, due to the rock's dark and unattractive appearance. Notite can be found in various geological settings, including inclusions within other rocks, as veins or dikes, or as part of large ultramafic complexes. It is often associated with the formation of mineral deposits due to its chemical composition and the potential for fluid interaction.
Notite can possess significant economic importance, particularly if it contains valuable elements such as platinum group elements (PGEs), chromium, or nickel. Its high density and resistance to weathering make it suitable for various applications, including as a construction material, in the production of refractories, and in the manufacturing of abrasives.
Due to its specific mineral composition and geological occurrence, notite is of interest to geologists, petrologists, and economic geologists in their efforts to understand the formation processes of certain mineral deposits and the overall composition of Earth's crust.
A peculiar mineral occurring in connection with modern volcanoes, found in the Val di Noto, in Sicily, whence the name.
