Aeolotropism

/ˌeːoloʊˈtrɒpɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of having properties that vary depending on the direction of measurement.

Etymology

From aeolotropic + -ism (a condition or doctrine). This technical term formalizes the concept of directional variation in materials, borrowing the prefix aiolos from Greek mythology of the wind god.

Kelly Says

Aeolotropism is why a diamond sparkles differently when rotated—the crystal lattice has built-in 'preferences' for how light bounces through it. This directional stubbornness makes certain gems even more valuable.
