American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

  1. n. The growth of the crystals of one mineral on the crystal face of another mineral, such that the crystalline substrates of both minerals have the same structural orientation.

Wiktionary

  1. n. Any of several techniques that grow ordered, crystalline layers on top of an existing monocrystalline substrate.

WordNet 3.0

  1. n. growing a crystal layer of one mineral on the crystal base of another mineral in such a manner that its crystalline orientation is the same as that of the substrate
