DomainDefinition
MiningA. Said of a mineral grain that is completely bounded by its own rational faces, and whose growth during crystallization or recrystallization was not restrained or interfered with by adjacent grains b. Said of the shape of such a crystal. Syn: idiomorphic subhedral. See: automorphic. (references)
WikipedicEuhedral refers to well-formed crystals with sharp, easily-recognized faces. Normally, crystals do not form smooth faces or sharp crystal outlines. Many crystals grow from cooling liquid magma. As magma cools, the crystals grow, and they eventually touch each other, preventing crystal faces form forming properly or at all. (references)
