Usage: geology; chemistry
2. chemical compounds that facilitate the deposition of minerals from solution
Usage: technical

Examples

• The geologist studied how mineralizers affected crystal growth in the cave.
• Fluorine and chlorine often act as mineralizers in hydrothermal processes.
• The presence of mineralizers can significantly alter the texture of igneous rocks.
• Researchers identified several mineralizers responsible for the ore deposit formation.
• Water containing dissolved mineralizers created the spectacular mineral formations.
• The laboratory experiment tested different mineralizers and their effects on crystallization.
