A mineral or rock formation characterized by dance-like crystalline patterns or striations.
Derived from 'dance' combined with the mineral suffix '-lite' (from Greek 'lithos' meaning stone), suggesting a stone with patterns resembling dance movements.
This term perfectly captures how geologists sometimes name minerals based on their visual appearance—some rocks literally look like they're frozen mid-pirouette under a microscope!
