The Romans were very fond of Carnelian.

罗常喜欢卡 Carnelian。 注：Carnelian 通常翻译为“角闪石”或“红碧石”，但根据上下文，如果指是宝石中“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，直到下午晚些时候，我才强迫自己加速向东撤退，回到粗糙、尖锐、尖尖、多裂山峰，所有这些山峰都像大教堂一样花岗岩，闪闪发体——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.

宽阔峰顶大部分较为平坦， 密布着水、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。
