This discussion is presented as an attempt to interrelate the matrix and mineral in terms of our existing knowledge as presented at this Symposium, and to relate it, where possible, to what is being accomplished in allied disciplines and research areas elsewhere. The present author is fully aware of the difficulties involved in this task and of his own inadequacies in attempting to perform it. As a general rule, with perhaps the morphologists being the exception to it, the matrix and crystal components have been investigated independently of each other. This, of course, is quite justifiable, as the presence of one can often interfere with the investigation of the other, and each needs to be examined initially in as pure a state as possible.
本次讨论旨在根据本次研讨会所呈现的现有知识，将基质与矿物质相互关联起来，并尽可能将其与其他相关学科和研究领域正在取得的成果联系起来。作者深知这项任务的困难以及自己在尝试完成它时的不足。一般来说，形态学家可能是个例外，基质和晶体成分一直是相互独立研究的。当然，这是完全合理的，因为一种成分的存在往往会干扰对另一种成分的研究，而且每种成分都需要在尽可能纯净的状态下进行初步检查。
