How Do You Spell MIASCITE?

The word "Miascite" is a rare term, which refers to a mineral that has a black or brownish-black color. The pronunciation of this word is [maɪəsˈsaɪt], where "maɪəs" rhymes with "buyers" and "saɪt" rhymes with "height". The spelling of "Miascite" may be confusing for some, as the sequence "ia" usually corresponds to the sound /aɪ/ as in "bias" or "dialect."
