The crux: a continuum or a granular description:

"The deformation of individual grains is approximately the same as the macroscopic deformation...OR...the reorganization and relative movement of the grains can be markedly different from the macroscopic deformation." Paterson & Wong, 2006

Thanks for asking, these are saturated with silicate melt but it isn't shown so the particles are visible. Any "pore space," is melt filled.

Very nice; I am reminded of the tiling in this example of magma mush from under a Galapagos volcano. You might recall we talked about applying some of your network analysis techniques to these at the KITP in 2022.

I'm all for advocating responsible, healthy behavior but sometimes art comes first. For those with an interest in liquid jewels, here is my in-house cocktail menu. It is updated frequently @bjour.bsky.social @volcanojw.bsky.social @volcanodiana.bsky.social :
