Mineral Matters #743
Reticulated is cool. I found a cerussite micro that is just a "Y" uploaded to Mindat. The reticulation didnt get very far.
So is herringbone a reticulation? I.e., gold from Hopes Nose...I have a magnetite micro like that.
Reticulation seems to be another example of fractals. Metals often seem to crystallise in tree like or dentritic forms which in extreme cases might be reticulate. Just my view.
