How Do You Spell CHROMBISMITE?

Pronunciation: [kɹˈə͡ʊmbɪsmˌa͡ɪt] (IPA)

Chrombismite is a tricky word to spell because of the unusual combination of sounds. It is pronounced /krom-BIZ-mite/, with the stress on the second syllable. The "ch" at the beginning is pronounced like a "k," and the "b" in the middle is pronounced more like a "v." The "ism" is a common suffix denoting a belief or ideology, while the "ite" ending indicates a mineral or rock. Chrombismite is a rare mineral which contains chromium and was discovered in Siberia in 1974.
