What does ALBITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A common white or pale mineral of the feldspar group, made of sodium aluminum silicate, found widely in granite and other igneous rocks.
Albite forms as small, often glassy crystals within granite and related rocks, and geologists use it as one marker for classifying a rock's overall mineral makeup. The name comes from the Latin albus, meaning white, describing the mineral's typical pale color, though traces of other elements can tint some samples. Albite sits at one end of a chemical series with anorthite, and rocks are often described by where their feldspar falls between these two related minerals.
