Le ciment peut précipiter d’une manière irrégulière. Ceci est particulièrement net pour les ciments de calcaire. Quand la précipitation de carbonate est régulière, le ciment de carbonate forme une mosaïque, chaque pore étant ainsi rempli par deux ou trois cristaux de calcite. Mais il peut arriver que les cristaux de calcite soient beaucoup plus grands.
