What is described as microcrystalline?

The term "microcrystalline" refers to materials composed of individual crystals, however, these crystals are so small that they are not typically visible to the naked eye and can only be distinguished under magnification. This description aligns well with the choice identified. Microcrystalline structures are often found in various types of gemstones and can impact their overall appearance and texture, creating a smooth, sometimes waxy surface due to the closely packed crystal structures that are discernible only under magnification.

Other types of aggregates mentioned in other options do not accurately describe microcrystalline materials. For instance, the idea of an aggregate made up of visible large crystals contradicts the concept of microcrystallinity, as this would instead describe a macrocrystalline structure. A homogenous mineral form with no crystal structure does not fit because microcrystalline materials still have a crystalline structure, albeit on a microscopic scale. Lastly, the classification of a gemstone lacking clarity does not define microcrystallinity but rather pertains to the visibility of inclusions and transparency of the stone.

Thus, the description of microcrystalline materials is best captured by the option that notes the composition of individual crystals visible only under magnification.
