What does reticulated mean in mineralogy ?
Reticulated : definition
In mineralogy, this term refers to aggregates formed of crystals intersecting in several directions, like a network. In this type of aggregates, the crystals are generally elongated to acicular. This reticulation can be linked to multiple twins (reticulate cerussite) or to epitaxies (chalcotrichite).
