Er, no. The Brit spelling is "aeolianite" from "aeolian" - pertaining to wind (from the Greek) which is derived from Aeolus - keeper of the winds - with the adjectival ending -ian. North Americans can't cope with the diphthong ae so drop the a at the beginning, and spell it eolianite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.218.200 (talk) 17:20, 30 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
