poikilitic
poikilitic Applied to the
texture produced when several orientated or unorientated crystals are enclosed within a larger crystal in an
igneous rock. The larger crystals have more widely separated nuclei than the enclosed crystals, and may grow faster, thus enclosing surrounding grains. Where
augite encloses a number of
plagioclase feldspar crystals the poikilitic texture is given the specific name of ‘ophitic texture’.
