Physics:Polysome (crystallography)
From HandWiki
Short description: Mineral structure
In crystallography, the term polysome is used to describe overall mineral structures which have structurally and compositionally different framework structures.
A general example is amphiboles, in which cutting along the {010} plane yields alternating layers of pyroxene and trioctahedral mica.[1]
