I thought the IPA might be a bit suspect too. If you listen to the
sound file from Webmineral.com (one of the references of the article), then it's definitely "skroo-tuh-nee-ite" rather than "skroot-nee-i-tuh". Maybe skruːtəniːaɪt? Since it's a DYK article it might be worth resolving today.

Not sure about sound quality. Possibly the pdf assumed that ITE is a standard mineral ending which doesn't need phonetic spelling, i.e. there might be a mix of IPA and non-ipa in the article.
