Structural Interpretation of Orientated Overgrowths in Crystallization

Nature volume 164, pages 68–69 (1949)Cite this article

Abstract

MINERALS belonging to quite different species, for example, rutile and mica, often show definite geometrical associations. Experimental overgrowths of salts and other chemical compounds on crystalline matter such as gypsum cleavages have been investigated by a number of authors1. Consideration is generally given to superposition of the two lattices at the connexion surface of the two associated crystals2. Agreement between the lattice plane of the deposit and the lattice plane of the substratum is not always satisfactory.
