Abstract
Summary: Quartz from a granite pegmatite near Kalkovo, Bulgaria, has undergone partial replacement by biotite along cracks parallel to (01;0); the biotite is in regular orientation relative to the quartz, and appears to constitute an instance of epitaxic replacement, defined as a replacement in which the replacing mineral develops in a regular, structurally controlled orientation relative to the mineral replaced.Keywords
