The Romans were very fond of Carnelian.

罗马人非常喜欢卡 Carnelian。 注：Carnelian 通常翻译为“角闪石”或“红碧石”，但根文，如果指的是宝石中的“红碧石”，则更常见翻译为“红碧石”。此处未进一步具体化，以保持原文的简洁性。

Listening, admiring, until late in the afternoon I compelled myself to hasten away eastward back of rough, sharp, spiry, splintery peaks, all of them granite like the Cathedral, sparkling with crystals—feldspar, quartz, hornblende, mica, tourmaline.

边听边欣赏，直到午晚些时候，我才强迫自己加速向东撤退，回到粗糙、尖锐、尖尖、多裂的，所有这些都像大教堂一样的花岗岩，闪闪发光的晶体——长石、石英、角闪石、云母、电气石。

Most of the broad summit is comparatively level and thick sown with crystals, quartz, mica, hornblende, feldspar, granite, zircon, tourmaline, etc., weathered out and strewn closely and loosely as if they had been sown broadcast.

宽阔的顶大部分较为平坦， 密布着水晶、石英、云母、角闪石、长石、花岗岩、锆石、电气石等，经风化后，密布、松散， 犹如播种。
