CITE. 



Killinite, Thomson. Occurs massive, 

 with the occasional appearance of prisms. 

 Colour pale green, sometimes stained brown 

 or yellow. The coating which arises from 

 decomposition yields an argillaceous odour 

 when breathed on, and imparts a brownish- 

 yellow stain to the granite. Structure 

 lamellar. Lustre glimmering. Translucent. 

 Yields to the knife. Brittle and easily fran- 

 gible. Fracture fine-grained. H. 4. S.G. 

 2'6o to 2-75.

 BB loses colour and whitens, intumesces, 



and fuses to a white enamel. 



Localities.— Irish. Killiney Hill, and near 



Dalkey and Scalp, near Dublin. 



KNEBELITE. 



Killinite is considered by Dana to be 

 an altered form of Spodumene, and by Blum 

 and Haidinger an altered lolite. The ab- 

 sence of a basal termination distinguishes, 

 it from lolite, and the absence of lithia from 

 Spodumene. 



KiLPATRiCK Quartz, Thomson. Quartz 

 found in the amygdaloid of the Kilpatrick 

 hills, near Dumbarton. It occurs in small, 

 white and translucent spherical masses, con- 

 sisting of fibrous and radiated crystals,, 

 which are terminated at their outer ex- 

 tremities; also fibro-massive, and of a pale 

 flesh-colour, accompanied by Stilbite, Na- 

 trolite, and other zeolitic minerals. 



KiRWANiTE, Thomson. Probably a variety 

 of Green Earth. Occurs in small nodules of 

 a dark olive green colour, with a fibrous tex- 

 ture, and a somewhat radiated structure. 

 Opaque. H. 2. S.G. 2-94L

BB blackens and partially fuses; with 

 soda or borax forms a dark brown glass. 



Localities. — L-ish. Antrim, in basalt and 

 amygdaloid; Glasdrumman, Kilkeel, and 

 Dunmore Head, Co. Down. 



Name. After Richard Kirwan, of Dublin, 

 a distinguished mineralogist of the latter 

 part of the last century.

Knebelite, Leyiz. Probably a ferru-

 and cellular surface. Colour grey, spotted 

 with dirty white, brownish-red, brown, and 

 green. Lustre glistening to dull. Opaque. 

 Brittle, and difficultly frangible. Fracture 

 subconchoidal. Hard. S.G. 3-714.
