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.

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:
