Wikipedia
pleonaste
Ceylonite (first cited 1793) and pleonaste (first cited 1801) or pleonast are dingy blue or grey to black varieties of spinel. Ceylonite, named for the island of Ceylon, is a ferroan spinel with Mg:Fe from 3:1 and 1:1, and little or no ferric iron. Pleonaste is named from the Greek for 'abundant,' for its many crystal forms, and is distinguished chemically by low Mg:Fe ratios of approximately 1:3. It is sometimes used as a gemstone.

pleonaste
Pleonasm is a rhetorical device used in both oral and written communication, where more words are used than necessary to convey a particular meaning. These extra words are often redundant or superfluous. Although generally seen as a flaw or error in speech or writing, it is sometimes used deliberately for emphasis or stylistic effect.
