Replication stages. (A) After growth (G1), crystals undergo scission (S1) and further growth (G2). (B–C) Scission mechanism. Compressed air propels solution containing crystals through a constriction (B), where high elongational flows fragment crystals [zoom, (C)]. Arrow lengths indicate rough fluid velocity.
