Bastnaesite rarely occurs as homogeneously single crystal, but contains microfine phase of parisite. They form regular intergrowth along (0001) plane net, which is identified as epitaxy. This eptactic texture results from the variation of chemical composition of crystallizing agents of those minerals that crystallize directly from carbonatite magma.展开更多
