An equimolar mechanical mixture of crystals each one of which contains only one of the two enantiomers present in a racemate. The process of its formation on crystallisation of a racemate is called spontaneous resolution, since pure or nearly pure enantiomers can often be obtained from the conglomerate by sorting.
