Les structures dites «d’exsolution» [...] indiquent qu’il y a eu jadis solution solide d’un minéral dans un autre et que la séparation des deux minéraux a eu lieu au cours du refroidissement. Par chauffage nous pouvons remettre le minéral inclus en solution solide dans l’autre. 3, record 1, French, - structure%20d%27exsolution

Lorsque deux ou plusieurs minéraux se présentent avec des structures d’exsolution, c'est-à-dire lorsque, dans une solution solide, cristallise un constituant en excès, en réchauffant l'ensemble, on remet en solution le constituant qui se trouvait en excès dans le minéral-hôte. La température de remise en solution correspond, en principe, à la température de formation de la structure d’exsolution. 4, record 1, French, - structure%20d%27exsolution

Les structures d’exsolution de la bornite dans la chalcopyrite, observées à la Happy Jack, peuvent se former à sec à 475° [...] mais, en solutions aqueuses, à seulement 90-100°. 3, record 1, French, - structure%20d%27exsolution

Les textures d’exsolution et les relations entre les minéraux servant à déterminer la paragenèse minérale et la séquence de cristallisation montrent une forte complexité, sont très variables et semblent définir des caractéristiques propres aux gisements individuels. 2, record 1, French, - structure%20d%27exsolution
