Malachite, Andalusite, Pyrite, Benstonite, &c.
In: Earth Science
In greek ITE can refer to a rock, so its like saying malich stones or andalus rocks. It is popular for modern languages to rename things using ancient languages. Im not sure if ITE has always been used since the greeks or if someone more recently started referring to rocks that way. Throughout science its a mixture of both.
