Usage: geology; chemistry
2. a chemical agent used to convert organic matter into mineral form
Usage: chemistry

Examples

• Water acts as a mineralizer in the formation of quartz crystals.
• The geologist studied how fluorine served as a mineralizer in the pegmatite.
• Heat and pressure, along with a mineralizer, created the perfect conditions for crystal growth.
• The laboratory used a mineralizer to speed up the crystallization process.
• Without an effective mineralizer, the mineral formation would take much longer.
• The mineralizer helped dissolve and transport the necessary elements for crystal development.
