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..

Macrodiagonal :: Macrodiagonal (n.) The longer of two diagonals, as of a rhombic prism. See Crystallization..

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

Clinodiagonal :: Clinodiagonal (n.) That diagonal or lateral axis in a monoclinic crystal which makes an oblique angle with the vertical axis. See Crystallization.

Crystal :: Crystal (n.) The material of quartz, in crystallization transparent or nearly so, and either colorless or slightly tinged with gray, or the like; -- called also rock crystal. Ornamental vessels are made of it. Cf. Smoky quartz, Pebble; also Brazilian pebble, under Brazilian..

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..

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

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

Hydrosalt :: Hydrosalt (n.) A hydrous salt; a salt combined with water of hydration or crystallization.

Cubical :: Cubical (a.) Isometric or monometric; as, cubic cleavage. See 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.

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..

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

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

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..

Metasomatism :: Metasomatism (n.) An alteration in a mineral or rock mass when involving a chemical change of the substance, as of chrysolite to serpentine; -- opposed to ordinary metamorphism, as implying simply a recrystallization..
