Editorial for Special Issue “New Mineral Species and Their Crystal Structures”
- “Verneite is named after Jules Verne (1828–1905). In his novel Voyage au centre de la Terre (1864), Verne describes a group of characters descending through a crater of a quiescent volcano in Iceland (Snæfell) and, after an adventurous journey through exciting Earth’s underground, finally being ejected in South Italy with the eruption of a volcano (Stromboli). Therefore, we consider the name verneite appropriate for a mineral found and described by the same team of researchers on the best-known Icelandic and Italian volcanoes [2]”.
- “The name thermaerogenite (spinel group member) is constructed based on the combination of Greek words θερμός, hot, αέριον, gas, and γενής that means “born by”. Thus, in whole it means born by hot gas, that reflects the fumarolic origin of the mineral” [3].
