Albite :: Albite (n.) A mineral of the feldspar family, triclinic in crystallization, and in composition a silicate of alumina and soda. It is a common constituent of granite and of various igneous rocks. See Feldspar..

Synclinoria :: Synclinical (a.) Synclinal.

Heulandite :: Heulandite (n.) A mineral of the Zeolite family, often occurring in amygdaloid, in foliated masses, and also in monoclinic crystals with pearly luster on the cleavage face. It is a hydrous silicate of alumina and lime..

Oligoclase :: Oligoclase (n.) A triclinic soda-lime feldspar. See Feldspar.

Aclinic :: Aclinic (a.) Without inclination or dipping; -- said the magnetic needle balances itself horizontally, having no dip. The aclinic line is also termed the magnetic equator..

Triclinic :: Triclinic (a.) Having, or characterized by, three unequal axes intersecting at oblique angles. See the Note under crystallization..

Diabase :: Diabase (n.) A basic, dark-colored, holocrystalline, igneous rock, consisting essentially of a triclinic feldspar and pyroxene with magnetic iron; -- often limited to rocks pretertiary in age. It includes part of what was early called greenstone..

Pyroxene :: Pyroxene (n.) A common mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, with a prismatic angle of nearly 90¡, and also in massive forms which are often laminated. It varies in color from white to dark green and black, and includes many varieties differing in color and composition, as diopside, malacolite, salite, coccolite, augite, etc. They are all silicates of lime and magnesia with sometimes alumina and iron. Pyroxene is an essential constituent of many rocks, especially basic igneous rocks, as basa

Linarite :: Linarite (n.) A hydrous sulphate of lead and copper occurring in bright blue monoclinic crystals.

Clinodiagonal :: Clinodiagonal (n.) That diagonal or lateral axis in a monoclinic crystal which makes an oblique angle with the vertical axis. See Crystallization.

Polyclinic :: Polyclinic (n.) A clinic in which diseases of many sorts are treated; especially, an institution in which clinical instruction is given in all kinds of disease..

Basalt :: Basalt (n.) A rock of igneous origin, consisting of augite and triclinic feldspar, with grains of magnetic or titanic iron, and also bottle-green particles of olivine frequently disseminated..

Orthoclase :: Orthoclase (n.) Common or potash feldspar crystallizing in the monoclinic system and having two cleavages at right angles to each other. See Feldspar.

Clinical :: Clinical (v. i.) Alt. of Clini.

Diorite :: Diorite (n.) An igneous, crystalline in structure, consisting essentially of a triclinic feldspar and hornblende. It includes part of what was called greenstone..

Clinically :: Clinically (adv.) In a clinical manner.

Freieslebenite :: Freieslebenite (n.) A sulphide of antimony, lead, and silver, occuring in monoclinic crystals..

Lazulite :: Lazulite (n.) A mineral of a light indigo-blue color, occurring in small masses, or in monoclinic crystals; blue spar. It is a hydrous phosphate of alumina and magnesia..

Microcline :: Microcline (n.) A mineral of the feldspar group, like orthoclase or common feldspar in composition, but triclinic in form..

Clinopinacoid :: Clinopinacoid (n.) The plane in crystals of the monoclinic system which is parallel to the vertical and the inclined lateral (clinidiagonal) axes.
