माक्षि (क्षी) क  n.  ( -कं)
माक्षि (क्षी) क   1. A mineral substance, of which two kinds are des- cribed; the स्वर्णमाक्षिक or gold Mākshika, of a bright yellow colour, apparently the common pyritic iron ore: and the रूप्यमाक्षिक or silver Mākshika, which answers in appearance to the Hepatic py- rites of iron; other names of these ores occur; as विट्माक्षिक and कांस्यमाक्षिक, or feculent Mākshika and mixed metal Mākshika they are however, perhaps rather synonymes of the gold and silver ore, respectively, than names of distinct species.
माक्षि (क्षी) क   2. Honey.
माक्षि (क्षी) क    E. मक्षिका a bee, अण् aff. of derivation; the name is applied to the ore, from its honey-like colour.
