Primo Levi Quote

In running through a list of names of minerals one is confronted by an orgy of personalities. It would seem that no mineralogist was ever resigned to ending his career without linking his name to a mineral, adding to the ending -ite as a laurel wreath: garnierite, senarmontite, and thousands of others.
