### Trivia

* As of version 32, precious minerals can also be mined at a second location, the M. & Co. Mining company, which is unlocked at Tilly level 62.
* The type of rocks with the yellow veins are called "Litrium Rocks."
	+ It is also called "Letter Ore."
* The majority of the Precious Minerals names are in Latin.
	+ *Ertiqus* can also mean "Prickly" in Latin, which is also related to the thorns on roses.
	+ *Petrum* may translate to "Peter" from Latin.
	+ *Lava* also means "Wash" in Latin.
* *Floss* means "River" in Luxembourgish.
* *Purpur* means "Purple" in Luxembourgish.
	+ It shares its name with a purple block in the game Minecraft.
* Crimson Quartz is the first Precious Mineral that is entirely in English.
* *Nocta Cyanus*, *Grunipute Crystal,* and *Viridis Speculo* all share the same cut shape.
* *Elderstone, Carbunque,* and *Animo Locus* all share the same cut shape.
* *Rhondony,* *Oculus Noctis* and *Carbulbea* all share the same cut shape.
* Some of the precious minerals gems are used in the Treasures obtained in the "Open the Treasure!" minigame.
* *Ningrum Fossilia* resembles a trilobite.
* *Citronpyrite* is a combination of "Citron," the citrus fruit in which most other citrus fruits are hybrids of, and "Pyrite," also known as fool's gold.
* *Magnetron* shares its name with a dangerous invention containing a cathode and an anode.
* The Aged Amber has inside of it a type of lizard or amphibian not yet seen in the game.
	+ This could be a prehistoric ancestor of an in game animal.
* Lupine Lazuli shares the first half of is name with a real life flower of a similar dark blue colour, and shares second half of its name with Lapis Lazuli, a real life blue gemstone.
* The Shamrock is green like the clover plant of the same name.
* The ancient statues are made of an unknown mineral.
* Nuiguisa accumulates over thousands of years from lime deposits. Nuiguisa is sturdy enough to be used as rails for trains.

### Speculation

* The insect inside of the *Resinae Aurantiaco* resembles the same Elephant Mosquito (*Toxorhynchites rutilus*) which is fossilised in the the amber atop the character John Hammond's cane, seen in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park.
* *Crimsonique* may be portmanteau of "crimson" and "unique."
* *Carbunque* resembles the colours of the Pokemon Carbink. Both are related to Charcoal becoming Diamonds.
	+ Given that *Carbunque* is the same cut shape as *Animo Locus,* this could mean that the latter is meant to be a type of Pink Diamond.
* *Garnetine* may be a portmanteau of "Garnet" and "Aubergine," the latter being the colour it resembles.
* Since *Amethite* translates to "Amethyst" and also looks like amethyst, it may be the the only mineral in the game that we also have in real life.
* Given the brown colour and the "choco" in its name, Chocoshard may be named after the food chocolate, although the actual mineral is likely inedible.
