undulose extinction
undulose extinction In optical mineralogy, the irregular or wavy extinction seen in thin sections of mineral grains (e.g. quartz) on rotation of the stage. Different parts of the grain go into extinction in different orientations. The phenomenon is thought to result from strain, which may modify crystal orientation slightly.
