How Do You Spell VINCIENNITE?

Pronunciation: [vˈɪnʃənˌa͡ɪt] (IPA)

The correct spelling for "vinciennite" is a bit tricky. It is actually "Vésigniéite" and is a rare mineral found mainly in France. The spelling is derived from the name of the locality where the mineral was first discovered, the Vésigneux mine. The phonetic transcription for the correct spelling is /veɪsɪnˈjiːaɪt/, with emphasis on the second syllable. It is important to get the spelling right when referring to minerals, as misspelling can lead to confusion when researching or identifying specimens.
