Definition
Describing a rock texture with visible crystals embedded in a finer-grained matrix, where the crystals are formed from buds or early crystallization.
Etymology
From 'blasto-' (bud, early formation) + 'porphyritic' (geology term for rocks with large crystals in fine-grained matrix). Rare mineralogical term from 19th-century geology.
Kelly Says
Geologists invented 'porphyritic' to describe rocks that look like they have different ages of crystallization—large crystals surrounded by tiny ones. 'Blastoporphyritic' adds the idea that early crystals sprouted like buds.
