A concretion is a hard, compact mass of matter formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles, and is found in sedimentary rock or soil. Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape, although irregular shapes also occur. The word `concretion` is derived from the Latin con meaning `together` and crescere ...

Stone-like encrusted clump/conglomerate created by the natural elements around an artefact, often rusted iron. If a concretion around an iron object is cracked underwater, black 'smoke' pours out. This is not good, because without the protective concretion, the remaining iron is exposed to further rusting. Concretions should never be cracked, just ...
