Glossary


This section is a defining dictionary. It connects you with knowledge of argumentation to all the other pages of industrial minerals, stones and gemstones. It helps you to break the reading into simpler terms, developing your understanding level to a higher grade.

The word glossary has been derived from the Greek word, 'glossa,' which mean 'tongue.' In other words, it contains the relevant explanations of a certain field of study or action.

Few of the most common and most sought-after terminology has been selected from the inner pages of glossary. They have been arranged alphabetically, just below, for your reference.
