Periclase:
- A magnesium oxide mineral
- Forms via high temperature contact metamorphism
- Used in the production of fire bricks
- Its name comes from the Greek word "περικλάω/perikláo" (to break around) because of its cleavage #minerals

Triplite:
- A phosphate mineral
- Forms in phosphate-rich granitic pegmatites and hydrothermal veins
- Its name comes from the Greek word "τριπλόος/triplos" (triple) because of its three cleavage planes #minerals
