leucite-bearing lavas Explanation: "Leucititic" (not "leucitic") gets some hits, but they appear to be translations. "Leucite-bearing" gets plenty, however. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-03-20 10:28:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Leucitite is a leucite-bearing rock. Example sentence(s):

| Reference: Wiki Reference information: Leucite lavas from which feldspar is absent are divided into the leucitites and leucite basalts. The latter contain olivine, the former do not. Pyroxene is the usual ferromagnesian mineral, and resembles that of the tephrites and basanites. Sanidine, melanite, hauyne and perovskite are frequent accessory minerals in these rocks, and many of them contain melilite in some quantity, The well-known leucitite of the Capo di Bove, near, Rome, is rich in this mineral, which forms irregular plates, yellow in the hand specimen, enclosing many small rounded crystals of leucite. Bracciano and Roccamonfina are other Italian localities for leucitite, and in Java, Montana, Celebes and New South Wales similar rocks occur, The leucite basalts belong to more basic types and are rich in olivine and augite. They occur in great numbers in the Rhenish volcanic district (Eifel, Laacher See) and in Bohemia, and accompany tephrites or leucitites in Java, Montana, Celebes and Sardinia. The peperino of the neighborhood of Rome is a leucitite tuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucite |
