Sentences with APLITE (5)
There is one very beautiful specimen of shining white, fine-grained granite aplite, with small, pale red garnets.
The former deposits contain arsenopyrite and copper-bearing pyrite impregnating a mica-quartz-schist, adjacent to and in apparent genetic relation with aplite or pegmatite intrusives.
Dykes and threads of aplite are very frequently to be observed traversing granitic bosses; they occur also, though in less numbers, in syenites, diorites, quartz-diabases and gabbros.
Less frequently aplite forms stocks or bosses, or occupies the edges or irregular portions of the interior of outcrops of granite.
These have very much the same composition as acid igneous rocks such as granite, aplite, hornblende granite, or intermediate rocks such as syenite and quartz diorite.
