bixbite
Occasionally used to describe the rare form of
Red Beryl from Utah. Its name was in honor of
mineralogist Maynard Bixby (1853 – 1935), a well known explorer of the Thomas Range in Utah. The name Bixbite is no longer suggested and accepted, due to confusion of the term with the mineral
Bixbyite, which is an entirely different mineral named after Maynard Bixby.
