WHAT DOES POIKILITIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Poikilitic

Poikilitic texture refers to igneous rocks where component crystals contain smaller grains of other minerals within them. In poikilitic rocks, the contained smaller grains are typically within phenocrysts. A poikilitic texture is most easily observed in petrographic thin sections. In some rocks there seem to be little tendency for the minerals to envelop one another. This is true of many gabbros, aplites and granites. The grains then lie side by side, with the faces of the latter moulded on or adapted to the more perfect crystalline outlines of the earlier. When the smaller idiomorphic crystals of the first-formed are scattered irregularly through the larger and less perfect crystals of later origin, the structure is said to be poikilitic. A poikioblast is a larger crystal that contains smaller crystals of other minerals. Poikioblasts are a texture of metamorphic rocks. Poikilitic texture describes the occurrence of one mineral that is irregularly scattered as diversely oriented crystals within much larger host crystals of another mineral.

Definition of poikilitic in the English dictionary
