augite
mineral
the most common pyroxene mineral (a silicate of calcium, magnesium, iron, titanium, and aluminum). It occurs chiefly as thick, tabular crystals in basalts, gabbros, andesites, and various other dark-coloured igneous rocks. It also is a common constituent of lunar basalts and meteorites rich in basaltic material. Augites may be found in certain metamorphic rocks, notably marbles. For chemical formula and detailed physical properties, see pyroxene (table).- North Cape Current
