Morion
a variety of quartz; smoky gray, almost black crystals. When heated to 250°-300°C, morion loses its color. The use of decolorized morion in industry is similar to that of quartz crystals. Morion is found in hydrothermal veins and pockets in granite pegmatites and greisens. There are morion deposits in the USSR (the Urals, Ukraine, Transbaikalia) and abroad (Canada, the United States, Brazil, the Malagasy Republic). Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Add to this the pleasure of displaying himself in rides about the city, and of making his fine military costume, which you may still admire sculptured on his tomb in the abbey of Valmont in Normandy, and his morion, all embossed at Montlhéry, stand out a contrast against the parti-colored red and tawny robes of the aldermen and police. The entire array, moreover, clad in burnished steel, and with plumage nodding over their bright morions, had a brilliancy of effect which no modern display can aspire to equal. |
