What's the difference between melilite and mellite?
Melilite
Definition:
(n.) A mineral occurring in small yellow crystals, found in the lavas (melilite basalt) of Vesuvius, and elsewhere.
Example Sentences:
Mellite
Definition:
(n.) A mineral of a honey color, found in brown coal, and partly the result of vegetable decomposition; honeystone. It is a mellitate of alumina.
