Texture is a good word..., a synonym for grain
It means many things in the related domains of grain & crystal growth, so it is not very precise; in the same domain of academic lingo, 'grain' is a pun [or so I think... - eg. the word stands at least both for coherent growth domains when there are many, or for growth features oriented with the lattice, etc. - you must have seen all & then some!]; both words are used for many of the possible crystal characteristics that look that way.

Digressing - I have only seen a single diamond cut to play on its texture [there was too much to defeat], and not much else as good; any other stones [Raman made some famous in his earlier papers, 'texture' is such a thing]; the texture was played to disperse what would have been annoying - too strong, too short - flash, & made those last over slightly broader viewing angles; I am like that... & I do understand perfect water [frankly, the latest suite you have cut does look like it is flowing around!]
