Eschynite

Eschynite
Eschynite Es"chy*nite, n. [Gr. ? shame.] (Min.) A rare mineral, containing chiefly niobium, titanium, thorium, and cerium. It was so called by Berzelius on account of the inability of chemical science, at the time of its discovery, to separate some of its constituents. [1913 Webster]
