Relating to or produced from the same original material or source; having the same genetic origin.
From 'con-' (together) and 'genetic' or '-genetic' (relating to origin). A rare term used in geology and genetics for materials or organisms with shared origins.
In geology, congenetic minerals formed from the same parent rock body—they're literally rock siblings. This concept helps geologists understand how different minerals ended up together.
