2. Crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal

   A crystal's crystallographic forms are sets of possible faces of the crystal that are related by one of the symmetries of the crystal. For example, crystals of galena often take the shape of cubes, and the six faces of the cube belong to a crystallographic form that displays one of the symmetries of the isometric crystal system. Galena also ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gallium_crystals.jpg

   Crystals of 99.999% gallium, grown and photographed by myself in February 2003. These particular crystals took about 45 minutes to grow, sitting in a plastic dish near a cool window. The lumpiness on the surface of these crystals is caused mainly by me shifting the dish around to monitor the progression of the crystal growth.

8. Selenite (mineral) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenite_(mineral)

   Selenite, satin spar, desert rose, and gypsum flower are crystal habit varieties of the mineral gypsum.. All varieties of gypsum, including selenite and alabaster, are composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (meaning that it has two molecules of water), with the chemical formula CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O. Selenite contains no significant selenium – The similar names both derive from Greek selḗnē ...

9. Crystallography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallography

   Crystallography ranges from the fundamentals of crystal structure to the mathematics of crystal geometry, including those that are not periodic or quasicrystals. At the atomic scale it can involve the use of X-ray diffraction to produce experimental data that the tools of X-ray crystallography can convert into detailed positions of atoms, and ...
