Dear Mark,

You should probably also have a look at the papers by Hans-Rudolf Wenk's 
group, in particular the super cool recent Synchrotron x-ray diffraction 
studies (can all be downloaded from their website).

M. Kunz, K. Chen, N. Tamura, H.-R. Wenk (2009). Residual stress and 
domain orientation in natural quartz. American Mineralogist 94, 1059-1062.

Chen, K., Kunz, M., Tamura, N., Wenk, H.-R. (2011). Evidence for high 
stress in quartz from the impact site of Vredefort, South Africa. 
European J. Mineral. 23, 169-178.

Chen K., Kunz M., Tamura N., and Wenk H.-R. (2011). Deformation twinning 
and residual stress in calcite studied with synchrotron polychromatic 
x-ray microdiffraction. Phys. Chem. Minerals 38, 491-500.

Chen, Kai, Dejoie, C. and Wenk, H.-R. (2012). Unambiguous indexing of 
trigonal crystals from white beam Laue diffraction patterns: Application 
to Dauphine twinning and lattice stress mapping in deformed quartz. J. 
Appl. Cryst 45, 1-8

Merkel, S., Liermann, H.P., Miyagi, L., Wenk, H.-R. (2013). In-situ 
radial x-ray diffraction study of texture and stress during phase 
transformations in bcc-, fcc-, and hcp-iron up to 36 GPa and 1000K. Acta 
mater. 61, 5144

Chen, K., Kunz, M., Li, Y., Sintubin, M., Zepeda, E. and Wenk, H.-R. 
(2016). Compressional residual stress in Bastogne boudins revealed by 
synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction. Geoph. Research Letters (in press). 
doi:10.1002/2016GL069236.

Last not least some advertisement for one of our own papers on the 
subject with far-reaching consequences (under-cited), also a very neat study

Schrank, C., Fusseis, F., Karrech, A. and Regenauer-Lieb, K (2012): 
Thermal-elastic stresses and the criticality of the continental crust, 
G-cubed, DOI: 10.1029/2012GC004085
