Extract

In the short description of the Mynydd Mawr rock given in the May Number of this Magazine (p. 221), I drew attention to a remarkable blue hornblende, which I was unable to refer to any known variety. In the character of its absorption and pleochroism it differed widely from both glaucophane and arfvedsonite, although allied to them in some of its properties, such as its extreme fusibility, splinters melting easily in the flame of a candle.
