meroxenen.

Brit.

/mᵻˈrɒksiːn/, U.S.

/məˈrɑkˌsin/

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Meroxen.

Etymology: < German Meroxen (W. Haidinger Handb. der bestimmenden Min. (1845) 521) < scientific Latin meroxenus (in Astrites meroxenus (A. Breithaupt Vollständiges Handb. der Min. (1841) II. 382)), probably < mero- mero- comb. form¹ + ancient Greek ξένος unknown, strange (see xeno- comb. form), probably so named from the fact that uniaxial mica, which had formerly been regarded as a single species, actually comprised a group of species, and hence the members of this group had previously been ‘partly unknown’.

Mineralogy.

A variety of biotite, distinguished by its optical properties (see quot. 1957).

1854 J. D. Dana Syst. Mineral. (ed. 4) II. 226 The Vesuvian biotite occurs in brilliant crystals (Meroxene).

1887 Amer. Naturalist 21 272 When druses occur in these limestone bombs their walls are formed of successive layers of magnesium mica (meroxene) and augite.

1902 H. A. Miers Mineral. ii. 477 This, which is known by the name of ‘meroxene’, is a variety of biotite.

1957 Encycl. Brit. III. 622 a/2 Several varieties of biotite are distinguished. By G. Tschermak it is divided into two classes, meroxene and anomite; in the former the plane of the optic axes coincides with the plane of symmetry, while in the latter it is perpendicular thereto.

1993 A. M. Clark Hey's Mineral Index (ed. 3) 447/1 Meroxene has its optic axial plane parallel to (010) and in anomite it is perpendicular to (010).
