Serve-Dieu Abailard "Armand" Lévy (14 November 1795 – 29 July 1841) was a French mathematician and mineralogist.
Lévy was born in Paris where his Jewish businessman father had married Céline Mailfert, a Catholic.
Due to his Jewish origin, he faced difficulties obtaining jobs in France and accepted a position at the Collège Royal on Reunion Island.
In 1820, he met mineral dealer Henry Heuland, who asked him to categorise his collection for sale to Charles Hampden Turner.
[1][3] Armand Lévy described many mineral species,[1] such as babingtonite, beudantite, brochantite, brookite, forsterite, phillipsite, roselite and willemite.
