A structure characteristic of certain veins in which they swerve from their course and then swing back again along a path parallel to their former direction but above or below it. When such structures occur in pairs they form a cymoid loop. When the two branches of a vein diverge to enclose a lenticular mass of wall-rock, the structure forms a cymoid lens. 1, record 1, English, - cymoid%20structure
