Historical Definition
Zuitter or Zitter is a marcasite.
Meaning
The indefinite a matters: the entry places the named material in a category, rather than describing every material called marcasite. No color, structure or metal content is supplied here.
Use in the Book
Zinck is also called a metallic marcasite, but receives an additional account of four immature metals. The longer description belongs to that entry and should not be transferred wholesale to Zuitter.
