"Pandermite" was originally a white, marble-like rock from the Panderma area used for carving statues. One such statue was analyzed by French amateur chemist Desmazures in 1865 and found to be high in boron. This "pandermite" was later described as a calcium borate mineral species, published in 1877, but by that time the California mineral priceite had already been described (4 years previously), so the name priceite has precedence even though pandermite was known earlier.
