CONT

[...] Harker (1932) a dressé une liste des minéraux stables en présence de tensions (stress minerals) auxquels il oppose les minéraux anti-stress. [...] Eskola cite des minéraux anti-stress, notamment les feldspathoïdes (leucite, néphéline, sodalite), qu'on ne rencontre jamais dans les roches écrasées.

CONT

Du point de vue dynamique, on distingue les minéraux stress (stables à des contraintes orientées) et les minéraux antistress (instables à des tensions orientées).
