A compact heavy rock, not laminated, with an irregular, angular, highly crystalline, fracture; it abounds with distinct crystals of glassy feldspar, and the crystalline feldspathic base is mottled with a black mineral, which on the weathered surface is seen to be aggregated into small crystals, some perfect, but the greater number imperfect.

There was that solemn, plaintive stillness in the air which makes the least sound the hum of an insect's wing, the cracking of a twig, the patter of falling water so distinct and impressive.
