erionite

en-noun

erionite (countable and uncountable, plural erionites)

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἔριον (érion, “wool”) + -ite.

1997, R. P. Nolan, A. M. Langer, Physico-chemical Properties of Inorganic Particles Controlling Biological Activity, J. H. Duffus (chief editor), Carcinogenicity of Inorganic Substances, Royal Society of Chemistry, page 49,
The dust clouds for both the erionite and crocidolite exposures containing 10mg/ m⁻³ of dust, which produce fibre levels of 354 fibre cm⁻³ and 1630 fibre cm⁻³ > 5 µm in length, respectively. The erionite cloud contained fewer fibres and more equant particles.

Moreover, Timblin et al. (1998) reported that while both erionites and crocidolite exposure induced genetic damage, as supported by increased unscheduled DNA synthesis, crocidolite was much faster and more effective than erionite at inducing apoptosis.

prasine

From Middle English [Term?], from a combination of Middle French prame (inherited from Late Latin prasinus) and Middle French prasine (borrowed from Late Latin prasinum), both ultimately from Latin prasinus (“leek-green”), from Ancient Greek πράσινος (prásinos), from πράσον (práson, “leek”).

It is possible that just as chrysocolla is silicated malachite, so prasine is phosphated malachite; the physical appearance of these minerals strongly confirms this view.

1864 November 5, William Crookes, editor, The Chemical News and Journal of Physical Science: […] , volume 10, number 257, London: J. H. Dutton, […] , →OCLC, Revision of the Mineral Phosphates, page 217, column 1:
