Here make ground for a meadow; there, for a garden and grove, making it smooth and fine for small daisies and violets and beds of heathy bryanthus, spicing it well with crystals, garnet feldspar, and zircon."

By-and-by the flow of life in the streets ebbs, and the old leafy inhabitantsthe smaller tribes always in frontsaunter in, one by one, very careless seemingly, but very tenacious, until they swarm so that the great stones gape from each other with the crowding of their roots, and the feldspar begins to be picked out of the granite to find them food.

It troubled me little at that moment whether feldspar and augite were the two largest components, and I knew that Holman and the two girls were not interested.

We knew that the place was ugly and sinister, but feldspar and augite didn't give it that look.

A million sparks of light seemed to rise from the bed of feldspar over which the water leaped, and the peculiar quality of the rock gave to it the weird brilliancy which held us spellbound as we advanced with extreme caution.

It is the metallic base of mica, feldspar, slate, and clay.

The geologists were interested, and we others learnt something of olivines, green in crystal form or oxidized to bright red, granites or granulites or quartzites, hornblende and feldspars, ferrous and ferric oxides of lava acid, basic, plutonic, igneous, eruptiveschists, basalts &c. All such things I must get clearer in my mind.

Its form is conical, and the rock is composed of basalt feldspar with a small quantity of augite.
