Retgersite is an uncommon mineral that was first discovered in the 1960s. Its pronunciation is [ˈrɛtɡərzaɪt], and the word is spelled using English phonetics. The first syllable is stressed, and the initial "r" is pronounced with a slight roll. The "t" sound in the middle is followed by a "g" sound, and the final "e" is silent. The "i" in the last syllable is pronounced as "eye", and the final "t" is pronounced. The spelling of retgersite is not intuitive, so an IPA transcription is useful for proper pronunciation.
