  2. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    Crystallization is the process by which solids form, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal.Some ways by which crystals form are precipitating from a solution, freezing, or more rarely deposition directly from a gas.

  3. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    This includes scratches on the sides and bottom of glassware. A common practice in crystal growing is to add a foreign substance, such as a string or a rock, to the solution, thereby providing nucleation sites for facilitating crystal growth and reducing the time to fully crystallize.

  4. Crystal skull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_skull

    The crystal skull at the British Museum, similar in dimensions to the more detailed Mitchell-Hedges skull. Crystal skulls are human skull hardstone carvings made of clear, milky white or other types of quartz (also called "rock crystal"), claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders; however, these claims have been refuted for all of the specimens made available ...

    Articles relating to the crystal skulls, human skull hardstone carvings made of clear or milky white quartz (also called "rock crystal"). The skulls were crafted in the 19th century in Germany, quite likely at workshops in the town of Idar-Oberstein, which was renowned for crafting objects made from imported Brazilian quartz in the late 19th century.

  6. Epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaxy

    Solid-phase epitaxy (SPE) is a transition between the amorphous and crystalline phases of a material. It is usually produced by depositing a film of amorphous material on a crystalline substrate, then heating it to crystallize the film. The single-crystal substrate serves as a template for crystal growth.

  7. Zygomatic process - Wikipedia

    As a comparison, this is how the skull looks with almost all of the zygomatic process removed. The zygomatic processes (aka. malar) are three processes (protrusions) from other bones of the skull which each articulate with the zygomatic bone. The three processes are: [1] Zygomatic process of frontal bone from the frontal bone

  8. Fractional crystallization (geology) - Wikipedia

    1: olivine crystallizes; 2: olivine and pyroxene crystallize; 3: pyroxene and plagioclase crystallize; 4: plagioclase crystallizes. At the bottom of the magma reservoir, a cumulate rock forms. Fractional crystallization , or crystal fractionation , is one of the most important geochemical and physical processes operating within crust and mantle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_crucible

    The skull crucible process was developed at the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow to manufacture cubic zirconia. [1] It was invented to solve the problem of cubic zirconia's melting-point being too high for even platinum crucibles .
