What's the difference between microlite and picrolite?

Microlite


Definition:

  • (n.) A rare mineral of resinous luster and high specific gravity. It is a tantalate of calcium, and occurs in octahedral crystals usually very minute.
  • (n.) A minute inclosed crystal, often observed when minerals or rocks are examined in thin sections under the microscope.
