Porous Materials, 6 (1999) pp. 345-358 First steps of NaCl crystals growth in a stone pore. A granular aggregate made of smaller and isometric crystals on the wet substrate Salt Crystal Growth
8. Large crystals showing their specific equilibrium forms grow completely immersed in the solution Salt Crystal Growth Prof. Antonia Moropoulou Theoulakis, P., Moropoulou, A., “Salt crystal growth as weathering mechanism of porous stone on historic masonry”, J.

9. Detail showing how rounded isometric crystals pass into mainly columnar growth Prof. Antonia Moropoulou Salt Crystal Growth Theoulakis, P., Moropoulou, A., “Salt crystal growth as weathering mechanism of porous stone on historic masonry”, J. Porous Materials, 6 (1999) pp. 345-358
10. Columnar crystals of NaCl forming a compact aggregate. Morphological details of orients crystal growth Prof. Antonia Moropoulou Salt Crystal Growth Theoulakis, P., Moropoulou, A., “Salt crystal growth as weathering mechanism of porous stone on historic masonry”, J. Porous Materials, 6 (1999) pp. 345-358
11. Detail showing the subcapillary gap between columnar NaCl crystals and the substrate. Through this gap the crystal keeps in contact with the solution that feeds it with the necessary ions Salt Crystal Growth Prof. Antonia Moropoulou Theoulakis, P., Moropoulou, A., “Salt crystal growth as weathering mechanism of porous stone on historic masonry”, J. Porous Materials, 6 (1999) pp. 345-358
12. Columnar NaCl crystals. They partially overlap the individual pore spaces and join to compact aggregates showing that possibly a disruption has already occurred at this place Salt Crystal Growth Prof. Antonia Moropoulou Theoulakis, P., Moropoulou, A., “Salt crystal growth as weathering mechanism of porous stone on historic masonry”, J. Porous Materials, 6 (1999) pp. 345-358
