Quartz: extreme preferred orientation produced by annealing.
Annealing of samples of flint under high pressure, after hot-working in the beta-quartz stability field, produced an exceedingly strong concentration of c-axes parallel to the direction of compression. A specimen deformed under identical conditions, but not annealed, exhibited a much weaker orientation. The strength of the annealed orientation rivals that of the remarkable "cube texture" produced by annealing some face-centered cubic metals after extreme reduction by rolling.
