Etymology
Haüyne is named after René Just Haüy, a French mineralogist known for his foundational work in crystallography.
Geological genesis
As a feldspathoid, haüyne typically forms in silica-deficient igneous rocks, such as nepheline syenites and phonolites, where it crystallizes under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
