The presence of glass 4 billion years old on the Moon indicates that water is crucial to the rate of devitrification. |
Feldspars are added as orthoclase in order to reduce the devitrification of the glass. |
No devitrification textures are noted in either the exogenic or terrestrial varieties. |
All melt inclusions and matrix glasses chosen were completely glassy, i.e. they had not undergone any devitrification and did not contain microlites or microphenocrysts. |
These structures may be evidence of early nucleation and devitrification that preceded that in the surrounding host rhyolite. |
High-viscosity silica gel produced by the hydration and devitrification of volcanic ashes can eventually concentrate in any open space, such as the cast of a limb. |
