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 woods. 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 flinty nodules, which have the flakes of talc in their substance; these according to the colour of the flinty matter they are bedded in, and their own colour, give the names of black daze, white, red, and yellow daze, to these stones.
