recrystallized
Crystals formed anew
Recrystallized describes something that has formed crystals again after being dissolved, melted, or otherwise transformed.
In chemistry, recrystallization is a purification technique—a substance is dissolved in hot solvent, then cooled to form purer crystals: The recrystallized compound showed fewer impurities.
In geology, recrystallized minerals have reformed under heat or pressure without melting.
