Relating to or containing glauconite, an iron-potassium silicate mineral that gives rocks a greenish color.
Derived from 'glauconite' (the mineral) plus the suffix '-ic' meaning 'of or relating to.' This botanical and geological term describes materials characterized by the presence of glauconite minerals.
Glauconite minerals are so useful that they're actually mined and used as water filters, fertilizers, and even in kitty litter—all because they're porous and absorb things really well!
