IJOLITE (derived from the first syllable of the Finnish words Jiwaru, Jijoki, &c., common as geographical names in the Kola peninsula, and the Gr. XLOos, a stone)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 298 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IJOLITE (derived from the first syllable of the Finnish words Jiwaru, Jijoki, &c., common as geographical names in the Kola peninsula, and the Gr. XLOos, a stone) , a
rock
  consisting essentially of nepheline and augite, and of
great
  rarity, but of considerable importance from a mineralogical and petrographical standpoint. It occurs in various parts of the Kola peninsula in north
Finland
  on the shores of the
White
  Sea. The
pyroxene
  is morphic, yellow or green, and is surrounded by formless areas of nepheline. The accessory minerals are apatite, cancrinite,
calcite
 , titanite and jiwaarite, a dark-brown titaniferous variety of melanite-
garnet
 . This
rock
  is the plutonic and holo-crystalline analogue of the nephelenites and nepheline-dolerites; it bears the same relation to them as the nepheline-syenites have to the phonolites. It is worth mentioning that a leuciteaugite rock, resembling ijolite except in containing leucite in place of nepheline, is known to occur at Shonkin Creek, near Fort
Benton
 , Montana, and has been called missourite.
