Unisilicate
::
Unisilicate
(n.) A salt of
orthosilicic
acid,
H4SiO4;
-- so
called
because
the ratio of the
oxygen
atoms
united
to the basic
metals
and
silicon
respectively
is 1:1; for
example,
Mg2SiO4
or
2MgO.SiO2..
Flint Glass
::
Flint glass () A soft,
heavy,
brilliant
glass,
consisting
essentially
of a
silicate
of lead and
potassium.
It is used for
tableware,
and for
optical
instruments,
as
prisms,
its
density
giving
a high
degree
of
dispersive
power;
-- so
called,
because
formerly
the
silica
was
obtained
from
pulverized
flints.
Called
also
crystal
glass.
Cf.
Glass..

Amphibole
::
Amphibole
(n.) A
common
mineral
embracing
many
varieties
varying
in color and in
composition.
It
occurs
in
monoclinic
crystals;
also
massive,
generally
with
fibrous
or
columnar
structure.
The color
varies
from white to gray,
green,
brown,
and
black.
It is a
silicate
of
magnesium
and
calcium,
with
usually
aluminium
and iron. Some
common
varieties
are
tremolite,
actinolite,
asbestus,
edenite,
hornblende
(the last name being also used as a
general
term for the whole
species).

Bisilicate
::
Bisilicate
(n.) A salt of
metasilicic
acid; -- so
called
because
the ratio of the
oxygen
of the
silica
to the
oxygen
of the base is as two to one. The
bisilicates
include
many of the most
common
and
important
minerals.
Heulandite
::
Heulandite
(n.) A
mineral
of the
Zeolite
family,
often
occurring
in
amygdaloid,
in

with
pearly
luster
on the
cleavage
face. It is a
hydrous
silicate
of
alumina
and
lime..

others.
These
species
occur of
secondary
origin
in the
cavities
of
amygdaloid,
basalt,
and lava, also, less
frequently,
in
granite
and
gneiss.

called
because
many of these
