A breach is material if, as a result of the breaching partyâs failure to perform some aspect of the contract, the other party receives something substantially different from what the contract specified.
In mineralogy, crystal habit is the characteristic external shape of an individual crystal or groups of crystals. A single crystal's habit is a description of its general shape and its crystallographic forms, plus how well developed each are.Recognizing the habit may help in identifying a mineral.or example, minerals used for asbestos insulation often grow in a fibrous habit, a mass of very fine fibers. The terms used by mineralogists to report crystal habits describe the typical appearance of an ideal mineral.
Pegmatitic texture occurs during magma cooling when some minerals may grow so large that they become massive (the size ranges from a few centimetres to several metres). This is typical of pegmatites. Phaneritic (phaner = visible) textures are typical of intrusive igneous rocks, these rocks crystallized slowly below Earth's surface. As magma cools slowly the minerals have time to grow and form large crystals. The minerals in a phaneritic igneous rock are sufficiently large to see each individual crystal with the naked eye. Examples of phaneritic igneous rocks are gabbro, diorite and granite. Porphyritic textures develop when conditions during cooling of a magma change relatively quickly. The earlier formed minerals will have formed slowly and remain as large crystals, whereas, sudden cooling causes the rapid crystallization of the remainder of the melt into a fine grained (aphanitic) matrix.
