ledig foyaite Explanation: Well, 'foyaite' is a mineral that gets its name from Foya in Portugal, so it's reasonable to assume that tis part of the name would stay the same in FR. As for 'ledig', it appears to mean 'vide' in NL, and therefore perhaps also in Afrikaans (?), so I can only guess that it perhaps means a porous variety of foyaite; in any case, I think as it represents part of the name itself, the best things is probably to leave it as is, since this appears to be a mineral that is very specific to just this area. |
