  2. Fiveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiveling

    A fiveling, also known as a decahedral nanoparticle, a multiply-twinned particle (MTP), a pentagonal nanoparticle, a pentatwin, or a five-fold twin is a type of twinned crystal that can exist at sizes ranging from nanometers to millimetres. It contains five different single crystals arranged around a common axis.

  3. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    A crystal system is a set of point groups in which the point groups themselves and their corresponding space groups are assigned to a lattice system. Of the 32 crystallographic point groups that exist in three dimensions, most are assigned to only one lattice system, in which case both the crystal and lattice systems have the same name. However ...

  4. Crystallographic point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_point_group

    Each crystallographic point group defines the (geometric) crystal class of the crystal. The point group of a crystal determines, among other things, the directional variation of physical properties that arise from its structure, including optical properties such as birefringency , or electro-optical features such as the Pockels effect .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    A crystal system is a set of point groups in which the point groups themselves and their corresponding space groups are assigned to a lattice system (see table in Crystal system#Crystal classes). The trigonal crystal system consists of the 5 point groups that have a single three-fold rotation axis, which includes space groups 143 to 167.

  7. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    The red points are the shared crystal lattice points. Twinning, a version of macle , is a form of symmetrical intergrowth between two or more adjacent crystals of the same mineral. It differs from the ordinary random intergrowth of mineral grains in a mineral deposit, because the relative orientations of the two crystal segments show a fixed ...

  8. Sunstone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunstone

    Oregon Sunstone is unique in that crystals can be quite large. The copper leads to variant color within some stones, where turning one stone will result in manifold hues: the more copper within the stone, the darker the complexion. [9] On August 4, 1987, the Oregon State Legislature designated Oregon Sunstone as its state gemstone by joint ...

  9. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    To achieve a moderate number of medium-sized crystals, a container which has a few scratches works best. Likewise, adding small previously made crystals, or seed crystals, to a crystal growing project will provide nucleating sites to the solution. The addition of only one seed crystal should result in a larger single crystal.
