Crystallite
Definition:
(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.
Example Sentences:
(1) Although the crystallite widths were similar in both AI and normal enamel, the AI teeth showed areas where the crystallite order and continuity appeared disrupted.
