Plagioclase twins mechanically on the albite law. Twinning is most likely to occur when the resolved shear stress ... is at a maximum. Only those crystals oriented in the stress field to approximately meet this condition will twin. Thus, in a rock containing mechanically twinned grains, the principal stress directions affecting the rock may be approximated by measuring the twin elements of these grains. 2, record 1, English, - albite%2Dtwinned%20plagioclase
