Dolerite :: Dolerite (n.) A dark-colored, basic, igneous rock, composed essentially of pyroxene and a triclinic feldspar with magnetic iron. By many authors it is considered equivalent to a coarse-grained basalt..

Clinic :: Clinic (n.) One confined to the bed by sickness.

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

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

Orthopinacoid :: Orthopinacoid (n.) A name given to the two planes in the monoclinic system which are parallel to the vertical and orthodiagonal axes.

Clinorhombic :: Clinorhombic (a.) Possessing the qualities of a prism, obliquely inclined to a rhombic base; monoclinic..

Triclinate :: Triclinate (a.) Triclinic.

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

Norite :: Norite (n.) A granular crystalline rock consisting essentially of a triclinic feldspar (as labradorite) and hypersthene.

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..

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

Monosymmetrical :: Monosymmetrical (a.) Same as Monoclinic.

Clinic :: Clinic (v. i.) Of or pertaining to a clinic, or to the study of disease in the living subject..

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..

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

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

Andesine :: Andesine (n.) A kind of triclinic feldspar found in the Andes.

Vivianite :: Vivianite (n.) A hydrous phosphate of iron of a blue to green color, growing darker on exposure. It occurs in monoclinic crystals, also fibrous, massive, and earthy..

Hemiorthotype :: Hemiorthotype (a.) Same as Monoclinic.

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..
