She tried to separate the polonium from the pitchblende—but she failed.

She decided to test a rock called pitchblende.

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， 密布着水晶、英、云母、角闪、长、花岗、锆、电气等，经风化后，密布、松散， 犹如播种。

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，闪闪发光晶体——长、英、角闪、云母、电气。
