  Amorphism \A*mor"phism\, n. [See {Amorphous}.]
     A state of being amorphous; esp. a state of being without
     crystallization even in the minutest particles, as in glass,
     opal, etc.
  
     Note: There are stony substances which, when fused, may cool


           as glass or as stone; the glass state is spoken of as a
           state of amorphism.
