Trivia[]

  • Laterite is a soil or mineral layer high in aluminum and iron ores that is easily cut into bricks for construction. This term in its etymology comes from the Latin "later" (brick) and the suffix "ite" to form the name of the minerals in mineralogy.
  • Laterite isn’t the usual mineral used for aluminium. In most industries, the mineral usually used is “bauxite”.
