More recently, a new theory of tiger's eye has been proposed that argues that it is not in fact pseudomorphic, but rather forms from crocidolite by a different mechanism, through a series of cracking and sealing episodes. |
Any or all of these carbonate minerals may have acted as the now-replaced parent to the well-known pseudomorphic, rhombohedral replacements by hematite and goethite. |
The strain of the AlN in the SL is so large that it prevents pseudomorphic growth. |
Like hematite, some goethite is pseudomorphic after a rhombohedral carbonate mineral. |
For analysis, we assume a pseudomorphic trilayer according to the TEM inspection. |
Pyrite and alunite crystals fill some of the vugs and cleavages of the pseudomorphic crystals. |
