Crystals/gemstones

[abos]

Does anyone have suggestions for baby names that are derived from crystal/gemstone names?

A couple I have seen so far but not sure of are -
Amethyst
Onyx
Topaz
Lazuli

I'm not sure about any of these ones so looking to see if anyone has other suggestions

I know people with the gem names Amethyst, Pearl, Amber, and Olivine.

I think Jade, Garnet, Jasper, Beryl and many of other gem names could be nice.

Jacinta is nice

Angelite

Peridot, Cubic Zirconia, Diamonte, Haematite?

Chalcedony
Agate
Pearl

I guess it's not really what you're looking for but Sienna originates from clay, I believe found in Italy

The welsh for bead is Glain. Pronounced Gline. Fairly unusual but pretty.

Please don't use Onyx. It's a lovely stone but not a nice sound for a name.

I love Jacinta, only heard of Irish people using it. Which doesn't really make sense to me?

It's the name of one of the Portuguese children who witnessed an apparition of the Virgin in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. The children were Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta. Of the three names, only the name Jacinta really caught the imagination of several generations of Irish Catholics. (Pronounced Ja--SIN-tha, not Kha-THEEN-tha or KHA-Theen-tha).

KHA-Theen-tha
What am I saying....

Kha-SEEN-tha is what I meant to type.

Soraya means jewel.
Giada - jade in Italian.

Amber seems to be making a comeback....I've met a few baby ambers this last year.

Jade I think has had its day for a while. I like opal and beryl. Soraya as mentioned above is beautiful too.

I love Amber and Jasper
