According to this principle, stressed grains in a rock will dissolve more readily than will unstressed grains in the same rock, and material may be transported between the two. Further, if the stress is non-isotropic (i.e., not the same in all planes), the points of a mineral grain under the greatest stress will be dissolved; the removed material may then be redeposited on those parts of the grain that are under lower stress.  1, record 1, English, - Riecke%27s%20principle
