birefringence: The splitting of incident light into two rays vibrating at right angles to each other, and causing two images to appear, eg in calcite, caused by double refraction in birefringent materials whose refractive index varies with direction. Arises from anisotropy in the material, eg crystalline anisotropy, molecular orientation, **frozen-in or imposed strains. The effect is used in mineralogy, in stress analysis and to determine degree of orientation in plastics and textile fibres.

tensoes latentes oiu externas
"frozen in" sao tensoes intrinsicas ao mineral, ou seja, ficaram la desde que ele esfriou e se cristalizou, ha milhoes de anos. Imposed sao tensões aplicadas externamente, p.ex. pelo peso das camadas estratigraficas existentes acima da amostra em questão.

tensões instaladas ou exógenas
Com efeito, quer a estabilidade física (coesão, anisotropia das tensões instaladas e comportamento em relação a forças exógenas), quer a reactividade química...
