Containing or composed of augite mineral; relating to or characterized by the presence of augite.
From augite plus the suffix '-ic' meaning 'of or relating to'. The adjectival form allows geologists to describe rocks and minerals that contain augite as a significant component.
Calling a rock 'augitic' is a quick way for geologists to communicate its mineral makeup—it's like having a shorthand for 'this rock is rich in augite'!
