%X Liuite (FeTiO<sub>3</sub> with an orthorhombic perovskite structure) is a new mineral approved by <span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and
Classification (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) </span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">in November 2018. It was
named after my family name, Liu, because I am the first person who
synthesized/identified this new material in my laboratory in 1975 at the
Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University. Since 1991,
however, liuite has been proposed or suggested to name for other minerals by
various Earth scientists from various countries. The scenario of the</span></span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> intriguing story is presented here.</span></span>
