Xenocryst by Linda Fuller You 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. 06/29/2010 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.
