Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'ijolite est une roche grenue formée de néphéline et de pyroxènes (augite, aegyrine). La faible teneur en silice (moins de 45 %) explique la disparition complète des feldspaths. Les seuls éléments blancs sont les feldspathoïdes. 4, record 3, French, - ijolite

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In general, nepheline, pyroxene, and potassium feldspar occur in roughly equal proportions. The potassium feldspar content must exceed 10% or the rock is classified as belonging to the ijolite suite. Both the nepheline and pyroxene content must exceed 10% or the rock would be classified with the syenites. This rock group is transitional between the ijolites and overlaps the syenitic rock group. 1, record 5, English, - malignite

L'abondance de néphéline et de pyroxène doit excéder 10 % sinon la roche est classée avec les syénites. Ce groupe de roches est intermédiaire entre les ijolites et le groupe des roches syénitiques et chevauche en partie celui-ci. 1, record 5, French, - malignite
