Menilite is a greyish-brown form of the mineraloid opal.
[1] It is also known as liver opal or leberopal (German), due to its color.
It is called menilite because it was first described from Ménilmontant (Paris), France,[1] where it occurs as concretions within bituminous Early Oligocene Menilite Shales.
