titanite

True, in the august presence of rhombohedral crystals, retinasphaltic resins, gehlenites, Fassaites, molybdenites, tungstates of manganese, and titanite of zirconium, why, the most facile of tongues may make a slip now and then.

Journey to the Interior of the Earth 2003

'Deplorable phraseology or not, I've got enough data to put the probability out beyond the nine-sigma point-the same probability as that an automatic screw-machine running six-thirty-two brass hex nuts would accidentally turn out a thirty-six-inch jet-ring made of pure titanite, diamond ground, finished, and fitted.

Masters Of The Vortex Smith, E. E. 1972

Plagioclase, microcline and quartz are the predominating minerals, while biotite, titanite, epidote, apatite, zircon and garnet are present in smaller quantities.

The Long Labrador Trail Dillon Wallace 1901

True, in the august presence of rhombohedral crystals, retinasphaltic resins, gehlenites, Fassaites, molybdenites, tungstates of manganese, and titanite of zirconium, why, the most facile of tongues may make a slip now and then.

A Journey to the Interior of the Earth Jules Verne 1866

We found some from one to two toises broad, full of small fasciculated crystals of rutile titanite.

Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America 1851

It is traversed by veins of quartz, containing cannulated and often articulated prisms of rutile titanite two or three lines in diameter.

Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America 1851

The presence of cyanite, rutile-titanite, and garnets, and the absence of Lydian stone, and all fragmentary or arenaceous rocks, seem to characterise the formation we describe as primitive.

Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America 1851

The direction and inclination of the stratum remain the same, and the thonschiefer, which takes the look of a transition-rock, is but a modification of the primitive mica-slate of Maniquarez, containing garnets, cyanite, and rutile titanite.

Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America 1851

I observed neither hornblende, black schorl, nor rutile titanite, in this granite.

Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America 1851

We are ignorant of the extent of the cavities which subterranean fires and volcanic agitations may have produced in the bowels of the earth in those primitive rocks, which, containing considerable quantities of amphibole, mica, garnet, magnetic iron-stone, and red schorl (titanite), appear to be anterior to granite.
