in natural history, a name given by our miners to a glittering sort of stone, which often occurs in their works; and, as it is an unprofitable substance, is one of those things they call weeds. The word daze takes in with them every stone that is hard and glittering; and therefore it comprehends the whole genus of the talc and stony nodules, which have the flake of talk in their substance: these, according to the colour of the stony matter they are bedded in, and their own colour, give the names of black daze, white, red, and yellow daze, to these stones.
