marmolite
/ˈmɑːməlʌɪt/Geology
noun
A pale green foliated serpentine or chrysotile with a pearly lustre.
Origin
Early 19th century; earliest use found in Thomas Nuttall (1786–1859), botanist. From marm- + -o- + -lite, after e.g. chiastolite. The form marmalite is probably influenced by ancient Greek μάρμαρος marble, unless an error.
