What does AUGITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A common rock-forming mineral, usually dark green to black, belonging to the pyroxene family of silicates and typically crystallising as volcanic rock cools.
Augite forms early as magma cools, and it is one of the most abundant minerals in dark igneous rocks such as basalt, gabbro and dolerite. Geologists tell augite apart from the similar-looking amphibole mineral hornblende by its stubby crystal shape and its near-right-angle cleavage. Because it crystallises early, augite often shows up as distinct grains embedded within a finer-grained rock matrix. The mineral belongs to the wider pyroxene group, all of which share a similar chain-like silicate structure.
How AUGITE is used
