	Euhedral Commands
		Once the EUHEDRAL command filter had been used and the subfile.hkl is present, it is not necessary to run readhkl at every program start.
		This information is used for the determination of the redundancy in the filter routine, and for the calculation of R values.
		All EUHEDRAL refinements of the crystal shape are based on this R2.

	Euhedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Euhedral refers to well-formed crystals with sharp, easily-recognized faces.
		In rocks, the presence of euhedral crystals may signify that they formed early in the crystallization of a magma or perhaps crystallized in a cavity or vug, without hindrance from other crystals.
		Etymology: Euhedral is derived from the Greek hedron meaning shape.

	gold from Appalachians
		Euhedral gold crystals are extremely rare compared with the amount of the metal produced, and very few have been preserved.
		Euhedral crystals and filiform gold develop in open spaces, for gold is too soft and malleable to displace most other minerals.
		Therefore, it is rather remarkable that euhedral crystals of gold have not been reported previously from this region, but the writer has found no reference to such crystals in the literature.

	PYRITE Chapter 21. Sulfides, arsenides, antimonides, and sulfosalts
		Some euhedral crystals are metastable and may decompose on exposure; the process, with respect to local material, is a relatively sluggish one, sometimes taking a half-century or more in institutional collections.

		Clinopyroxene phenocrysts have euhedral but ragged (corroded) outlines up to 2 mm in diameter and are mantled by pale olive green amphibole (?hornblende) in parallel position.
		Euhedral to subhedral magnetite crystals are mainly <0.2 mm in size.
		Pyrite, forming euhedral crystals up to several mm across in massive aggregates in the major vein, or millimeter-sized crystals in the wallrock, is rarely associated with or contains rounded inclusions of sphalerite up to 0.75 mm across.

	MYRMEKITE 29 OF 50
		This euhedralism has generally been interpreted to suggest a deep (high-pressure-temperature) origin for the rock (Zen and Hammarstrom, 1984).
		However, because the zoned plagioclase crystals indicate a relatively shallow emplacement rather than deep emplacement, the euhedral epidote must have been formed near the surface.
		Therefore, euhedralism of epidote cannot always be used as an indicator of high P-T conditions for a rock's formation.

	The petrography of the wallrocks and open-void fluorite mineralization at Rogerley Mine, Stanhope, North Pennines. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A late, coarse-grained, unzoned, euhedral dolomite/ankerite forms rims to small voids that are infilled by coarse-grained quartz and late-stage calcite next to local dedolomitisation.
		Locally, subhedral to euhedral fluorite and galena, both associated with coarse-grained quartz, are enclosed within the 'chert'.
		Galena forms subhedral to euhedral crystals within silicified limestone or is intergrown with green fluorite.

		The rocks are composed of 0.04-3 mm clasts including: scoriaceous, fluidal, and blocky palagonitized and chloritized glass shards; euhedral, subhedral, and broken olivine, augite, and plagioclase; accretionary lapilli; sub-rounded to angular basalt fragments.
		The preservation of delicate glass shards and euhedral crystals, and the lack of non-volcanic material, indicates that this is a primary pyroclastic deposit.
		Crystal morphologies such as large, euhedral olivine and clusters of granular augite are also found in the overlying olivine-pyroxene phyric flows of the Milne Land Formation.

		Dense lucinid bivalve assemblages and carbonate cements with stable carbon isotope signatures indicative of mineral precipitation in the presence of methane are characteristic of the lenses.
		Coquinoid limestones comprise pelletal packstones and grainstones, mostly articulated lucinid shells, and fibrous botryoidal, anhedral blocky, euhedral blocky and lublinite-like cements.
		Microprobe analyses indicate that pelletal carbonates and botryoidal and anhedral blocky cements are magnesium rich, whereas lublinite cements are iron and magnesium rich, and blocky euhedral cements are iron rich.

		It is interesting to note that, to date, these terms are found virtually exclusively in the literature of geology and related sciences; they cannot be found in general dictionaries, no matter how exhaustive they may be.
		Euhedral, subhedral, and anhedral are essentially petrographic or rock descriptive terms, meaning that they owe their origin to petrographers who wanted to be able to unambiguously describe rock textures in thin sections of rocks as they examined them under a microscope.
		The former and the latter formed under identical conditions at about the same time, so the "ball" of adamite has just as much right to be considered "euhedral" as do the individual crystals, yet I am certain that no one would ever apply the term to botryoidal adamite.

		Scanning electron microscopy (with EDAX attachment) and X-ray diffractometry aided the petrographic examination, which confirmed the identity of the minerals and showed that the epidote present is an Fe-rich variety and that prehnite and wairakite are nearly stoichiometric.
		Some crystals show pitting that may be due to either local dissolution or, more likely because of their angular shape, to impacts between crystals or with the liner as the ejecta discharged.
		Note that quartz saturation of the fluid has been established since euhedral quartz crystals are a minor phase present in some ejected chips.

		Alunite occurs commonly in sections of altered tuff in several of the modern trench cuts surrounding the main mining area and the southeastern prospect.
		The mineral occurs as euhedral, pseudohexagonal plates of a light pink color.
		Although this species tends to form euhedral crystals, it is difficult to obtain attractive specimens, due to the small size of the cavities in the matrix and the difficulty experienced in trying to split the matrix in a controlled manner.

		Layer in middle has calcite crystals with euhedral terminations (large red arrows), whereas upper layer has less well developed terminations (green arrow) and lower layer is flat (blue arrows) with no visible crystal terminations.
		Euhedral crystal terminations of middle layer are evident because a zone of very small calcite scalenohedra (small red arrows) formed on top of them.
		This is an unusual microfabric, in that the boundary between one calcite layer and an overlying calcite layer is usual subtle, because the overlying calcite nucleates on the lattice of the underlying layer, and no new crystals form.

	Reappraisal of Magmatic Origin for Euhedral Analcimes in Volcanic Rocks
		Analcime occurs as euhedral trapezohedrons embedded in aphanitic -and in some cases truly vitric- groundmass of silica-deficient volcanic rocks such as basanites, tephrites, phonolites, lamprophyres and blairmorites.
		These are: enclosure of euhedral crystals in aphanitic and sometimes glassy matrix, radial trains of inclusions of igneous microlites, and absence of alterations in the accompanying olivines and pyroxenes.
		Petrographic criteria and high structural iron set forth by Pearce (1993) for magmatic analcime have been observed to hold in case of Iranian analcimes-bearing volcanics for which secondary origin is indisputable.

		Here, finely crystalline euhedral-to-subhedral dolomite replaces calcareous grains and matrix (pink), leaving remnants of limestone texture shown in view A. Replacive dolomite is darker, with more inclusion material, whereas pore-filling dolomite is euhedral, inclusion-poor, and exhibits ferroan rims (arrow) in places.
		General view of dolomite texture shows well-packed, finely crystalline dolomite in matrix, with coarser, euhedral dolomite filling porosity at center.
		This dark area is a patch of partially dissolved and replaced, microporous chert (note remnant chert at bottom right), that was likely similar in texture to silica patch shown in A. Textures shown here suggest that pore-filling dolomite precipitated after silica.
