Extends the original confectionery crystallography report with controlled rock-candy growth series, thin-section-style photography of pop-rocks vesicles against true scoria, and a sober appendix on where the sugar-mineral analogy genuinely breaks down. Peer review was enthusiastic and sticky.
Comparative Crystallography of Confectionery Minerals: A Follow-Up Report
The much-requested sequel to "Sugar Minerals": new findings on rock candy nucleation, pop-rocks vesiculation, and the limits of the analogy.
