Defintion Crossword Help, deals with steam and crystals.
« on: December 20, 2006, 05:08:59 PM »
Okk. Hears the clue- When water trapped in a crystal becomes steam and blows the crystal apart.  Anyone know the term?  It's 13 letters long and some of the letters are as follows.... (this is from a crossword)

_ _ C _ E P I _ A _ I _ N   

....any help would be appreciated, thanks!  ;)
