Triclinic :: Triclinic (a.) Having, or characterized by, three unequal axes intersecting at oblique angles. See the Note under crystallization..

Crystallography :: Crystallography (n.) The doctrine or science of crystallization, teaching the system of forms among crystals, their structure, and their methods of formation..

Alum :: Alum (n.) A double sulphate formed of aluminium and some other element (esp. an alkali metal) or of aluminium. It has twenty-four molecules of water of crystallization.

Enstatite :: Enstatite (n.) A mineral of the pyroxene group, orthorhombic in crystallization; often fibrous and massive; color grayish white or greenish. It is a silicate of magnesia with some iron. Bronzite is a ferriferous variety..

Lactose :: Lactose (n.) Sugar of milk or milk sugar; a crystalline sugar present in milk, and separable from the whey by evaporation and crystallization. It has a slightly sweet taste, is dextrorotary, and is much less soluble in water than either cane sugar or glucose. Formerly called lactin..

Calcite :: Calcite (n.) Calcium carbonate, or carbonate of lime. It is rhombohedral in its crystallization, and thus distinguished from aragonite. It includes common limestone, chalk, and marble. Called also calc-spar and calcareous spar..

Oleomargarine :: Oleomargarine (n.) A liquid oil made from animal fats (esp. beef fat) by separating the greater portion of the solid fat or stearin, by crystallization. It is mainly a mixture of olein and palmitin with some little stearin..

Chessy Copper :: Chessy copper () The mineral azurite, found in fine crystallization at Chessy, near Lyons; called also chessylite..

Alcoholate :: Alcoholate (n.) A crystallizable compound of a salt with alcohol, in which the latter plays a part analogous to that of water of crystallization..

Orthorhombic :: Orthorhombic (a.) Noting the system of crystallization which has three unequal axes at right angles to each other; trimetric. See Crystallization.

Segregate :: Segregate (v. i.) To separate from a mass, and collect together about centers or along lines of fracture, as in the process of crystallization or solidification..

Dendritical :: Dendritical (a.) Pertaining to a dendrite, or to arborescent crystallization; having a form resembling a shrub or tree; arborescent..

Crystallization :: Crystallization (n.) The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations..

Dimorphism :: Dimorphism (n.) Crystallization in two independent forms of the same chemical compound, as of calcium carbonate as calcite and aragonite..

Crystallite :: Crystallite (n.) A minute mineral form like those common in glassy volcanic rocks and some slags, not having a definite crystalline outline and not referable to any mineral species, but marking the first step in the crystallization process. According to their form crystallites are called trichites, belonites, globulites, etc..

Crystallography :: Crystallography (n.) A discourse or treatise on crystallization.

Amorphous :: Amorphous (a.) Without crystallization in the ultimate texture of a solid substance; uncrystallized.

Tetragonal :: Tetragonal (a.) Designating, or belonging to, a certain system of crystallization; dimetric. See Tetragonal system, under Crystallization..

Crystalline :: Crystalline (a.) Formed by crystallization; like crystal in texture.

Grain :: Grain (n.) To form grains, or to assume a granular ferm, as the result of crystallization; to granulate..
