The 17 pages that link to Crystal growth, each with the reason it gives.

• Crystal latticeRelated: Growth processes establish and extend the repeating lattice arrangement.

• CrystallizationRelated: After nucleation, growth extends the crystal lattice into surrounding material.

• Crystal polymorphismRelated: Growth conditions can favor one polymorph over another after nucleation.

• SupersaturationRelated: Once nuclei form, crystal growth consumes dissolved solute and relaxes supersaturation.

• CrystallinityRelated: Growth extends ordered regions and can increase a material’s crystalline fraction.

• Crystal habitRelated: Growth conditions and rates shape the external form characteristic of a mineral.

• Calcium oxalateRelated: Once nucleated, calcium oxalate crystals enlarge as ions join their surfaces.

• Porphyritic textureRelated: Phenocrysts grow before the finer crystals of the groundmass form.

• Chocolate temperingRelated: After nuclei form, controlled cooling allows cocoa butter crystals to grow.

• Phaneritic textureRelated: Extended growth in slowly cooling magma produces conspicuous mineral grains.

• Miller indexRelated: Growth rates can differ among plane orientations, shaping the crystal’s visible faces.

• CementationRelated: Growing cement crystals may narrow pores and bridge neighboring grains.

• Fractional freezingRelated: Growth conditions influence how much of the surrounding liquid becomes trapped in the crystals.
