devitrification
GLOSSARY OF VOLCANIC TERMS
The solid-state transformation of volcanic glass into crystalline materials (AGI, 1976, p. 117). Devitrification tends to be more prevalent in densely-welded tuffs, but may also occur in less densely-welded or unwelded pyroclastic and/or volcaniclastic deposits. The main products of devitrification are cristobalite (SiO2) and alkali feldspar (KAlSi3O8) (Cas and Wright, 1987, p. 258).
