Table 1. Bulk ($k_X)$ and shear (${\mu }_X)$ moduli of the matrix (X = m) and mineral (X = c) phases.

$k_m$	${\mu }_m$	$k_c$	${\mu }_c$
70.0 MPa	18.5 MPa	82.6 GPa	44.9 GPa

Figure 1. Evolution of the mineral (light blue) ${\mathit{f}}^c$ and matrix (dark) ${\mathit{f}}^m$ respective deformations with time. Dark dotted: total matrix deformation with no growth ($\alpha =0$). Light dashed curve: evolution of the growth component of the mineral deformation ${\mathit{f}}_g^c.$
