Spherulites frequently have a radiating structure that results from an intergrowth of quartz and orthoclase. These spherical bodies are thought to have formed as a consequence of rapid mineral growth after nucleation, possibly on an accumulation of volatiles. 4, record 1, English, - spherulite

L'examen au microscope polarisant, entre nicols croisés, a révélé qu'il s'agit de domaines sensiblement sphériques [...] et coupés par une croix de Malte dont les bras sont parallèles au polariseur et à l'analyseur. Cela est caractéristique d'assemblages radiaux de petits cristaux. Chaque sphérulite est formé d'un faisceau de fibrilles partant d'un point central. La taille des phérulites dépend surtout des conditions de cristallisation. 3, record 2, French, - sph%C3%A9rulite
