Efflorescence

Japanese: 風解 - ふうかい(英語表記)efflorescence
Efflorescence
The phenomenon in which crystalline materials, when exposed to air, release their water of crystallization and disintegrate. A soft, friable crystalline powder forms on the surface of rocks and building materials. This is the result of the water on the rock surface evaporating, or the loss of water during crystallization. Typical minerals formed by efflorescence include gypsum, calcite, and halite. In bricks made from London clay, efflorescence occurs as a result of a reaction between calcium carbonate and pyrite [Blyth & De Freitas: 1974]. → Bloom (2.1.1)
