Meaning of "sagenitic" in English

"Sagenitic" refers to objects, typically minerals or gemstones, that contain acicular or needle-like inclusions. These inclusions are often made of rutile, a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide, and give the host mineral a feathery or web-like appearance. Sagenitic quartz is one of the most common examples of this type, where the needle-like features can vary in color and density. This term is primarily used in the context of gemology and mineralogy to describe such striking visual characteristics in stones.
