piipitoinen pöly

Did the writer perhaps mean siliceous instead of silicgenious? (is the latter an English word at all?)
Note from asker:
Thanks Juho! I also thought there could be a spelling mistake in the source, because I got only a few results by googling it. Piipitoinen pöly could be OK in this context.
Peer comment(s):

agree Desmond O'Rourke : siliceous, or silicious, both are found
