From there, it's a relatively simple step to the following: Augen (from German "eyes") are large, lenticular eye-shaped mineral grains or mineral aggregates visible in some foliated metamorphic rocks. In cross section they have the shape of an eye... A metamorphic rock which is clotted with augen is often called an augen gneiss. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augen |
