Striation


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or condition of being striated.
  • (n.) A stria; as, the striations on a shell.

Twinning


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Twin
  • (n.) The assemblage of two or more crystals, or parts of crystals, in reversed position with reference to each other in accordance with some definite law; also, rarely, in artificial twinning (accomplished for example by pressure), the process by which this reversal is brought about.
