Lucubratory is a new word for me. A special word for 'composed by candlelight' – fab. Do we also have a word for 'composed by electric light'? or torchlight, firelight, daylight?
I agree with deinonychus that some of the names sound really uncomfortable – a sapphire is a kind of rock after all. But this list reminds me what good sources of words catalogues and manufacturers' names for things can be.

I've added this to my New words list but I doubt if I'll ever use it. It makes me think of 'morbid' and its related words.

Some interesting lists here. I would find it difficult to use many of these words regularly.
