Ben has motivated me also to respond. I am in active contact with
specialised mineral collectors, the kind of hobby nerds who find new
minerals. We use my access to machinery for playing. They always speak of
"paragenesis" when they mean a typical association of minerals that are
repeatedly found together in the same kind of raw material from any given
location.
Maybe, Martin, you put it into the textbook, the usage of the term
"paragenesis" is loose, and there are good reasons for that. Our
assumptions about thermodynamic equilibrium or not, or further ideas and
models, must be explained. This is too much of thought to put it into a
single word, anyway.
