Xenocryst
by Linda FullerYou zig amidst
basalt: chalcedony,
diamond, encapsulated foundling.
Granite heartwood’s ignescent jewel,
kimberlite, lodestone magma,
nodules of peridotite quintessence,
radiant sediment, this unyielding
volcanic waif.

Author's Note: Per Wiki, "a xenocryst is an individual foreign crystal included within an igneous body. Examples of xenocrysts are quartz crystals in a silica-deficient lava and diamonds within kimberlite diatremes."
My "science" is beyond sketchy.
