Nekoite is a triclinic, white silicate mineral consisting of calcium, silicon, oxygen and water. Its discovery was first published in 1956.
== Etymology == Its name derives from reversing "Oken" from Okenite (named after the German naturalist Lorenz Oken), which it was originally mistaken for due to their similar appearances.
