Meaning of "malacolite" in English

Malacolite is a rare term referring to a specific type of mineral. It is a variety of augite, which is a common pyroxene mineral found in igneous rocks. Malacolite is notable for its lighter color compared to typical augite specimens. The term is largely used in geological contexts, particularly when describing specific mineral formations. This word may not frequently appear in general English usage, making it primarily relevant to mineralogists and geologists who study rock compositions and their various properties.
