An interestng one is Olivine "
Ah - la - veen" Olivine is a mineral found on the earth, moon,
Mars, meteorites, and in the dust around young stars and comet tails. Some are gem-quality and are called Peridot. Periodot is the birthstone for
August. It weathers quickly and that helps with climate change mitigation. I liked this name when I heard it and now that I've researched it, I love it even more!
