Vitreous luster

All micas have a vitreous luster phlogopite luster can range from vitreous to submetaUic. [Pg.285]

ANALCIME. A common zeolite mineral, NaAlSi2C>6 H20, a hydrous soda-aluminum silicate. It crystallizes in the isometric system, hairiness, 5-5.5 specific gravity, 2.2. vitreous luster colorless to white but may be grayish, greenish, yellowish, or reddish. Its trapezohedral crystal resembles garnet but is softer it is distinguished from lcucitc only by chemical tests. [Pg.91]

ANTLEKITE. Antlerite is a relatively uncommon mineral found within the oxidized zones of copper deposits in arid regions. It is a basic sulfate of copper. Cui(S04)(0H)a, crystallizing in the orthorhombic system. Hardness of 3.5. specific gravity 3.88, with vitreous luster, and emerald-green to black-green color. [Pg.145]

BROCHANTITE. A mineral composed of basic copper sulfate corresponding to the formula Cut (S04)(OH)/, crystallizing in the monoclinic system in needle-like prisms, or forming druses or masses. Hardness, 3.5-4 specific gravity, 3.9 vitreous luster color, green streak, green transparent to translucent. [Pg.257]

POLYHALITE. Polyhalite, K Ca, MgfSO - 2H 0 is a late evaporate mineral associated with halite, sylvite and carnallite from the famous oceanic salt deposits at Stassfurt, Germany. and near Carlsbad, New Mexico. It is of triclinic crystallization, with color grading from gray to brick-red hardness, 3-3,5 specific gravity 2.78 translucent with vitreous luster very biller Uste. It is a source uf potassium. [Pg.1339]

Following are the definitions of the above terms Common banded is the common variety of bituminous and subbituminous coals it consists of a sequence of irregularly alternating layers of lenses of a homogeneous blk material having a brilliant vitreous luster a grayish-blk less brilliant striated material usually of silky luster and thin bands or lenses of soft powder and fibrous particles, known as (usain or mineral charcoal.
