Xonotlite, or eakleite, is a mineral of general formula named by the German mineralogist Karl Friedrich August Rammelsberg in 1866. The name originates from its discovery locality, Tetela de Xonotla, Puebla, Mexico. Although it was discovered in 1866, it was first described by Taylor in 1959. It is approved by the IMA, but it is a grandfathered species, meaning the name represents a valid species til this day.
