hornblende in English

noun
1
a dark brown, black, or green mineral of the amphibole group consisting of a hydroxyl alumino-silicate of calcium, magnesium, and iron, occurring in many igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The main constituent phases of these rocks are plagioclase, hornblende , pyroxene, quartz and K-feldspar, and accessory phases include magnetite, sphene, zircon and apatite.
