Prismatic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Prismatical
Example Sentences:

(7) In a previous study, it was found that oblique gaze and the prismatic effect inherent in dynamic aniseikonia combine to affect the ability to fixate centrally.
(8) Physico-chemical investigations of enamel from deciduous teeth of a small number of children with and without pre-natal fluoride supplementation (PNF) exhibited the following differences between the PNF and non-PNF enamel, with the former showing: (a) more homogeneous and less extensive patterns of acid-etching; (b) denser crystal populations in intra-prismatic regions; (c) larger prism dimensions; (d) greater total mineral density (wt%ash); (e) higher degree of crystallinity; (f) smaller a-axis dimensions; and (g) more fluoride and less carbonate contents.
(9) At later stages, the epithelium becomes highly prismatic and forms folds which are lined by a mesenchyme and blood vessels.

Warwickite
Definition:
(n.) A dark brown or black mineral, occurring in prismatic crystals imbedded in limestone near Warwick, New York. It consists of the borate and titanate of magnesia and iron.
