The triclinic crystal system class names, examples, Schönflies notation, Hermann-Mauguin notation, point groups, International Tables for Crystallography space group number, [1] orbifold, type, and space groups are listed in the table below. There are a total of 2 space groups.
Crystal systems that have space groups assigned to a common lattice system are combined into a crystal family. The seven crystal systems are triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic. Informally, two crystals are in the same crystal system if they have similar symmetries (though there are many exceptions).

The crystal structure was later resolved by Peterson and Wang in 2006, revealing that it belonged to the triclinic crystal system, and each formula unit included 11 molecules of water, not 12. [4] The name "meridianiite" is derived from Meridiani Planum, the locality on Mars where it is believed to have existed in the past.
These groups may contain only two-fold axes, mirror planes, and/or an inversion center. These are the crystallographic point groups 1 and 1 (triclinic crystal system), 2, m, and 2 / m , and 222, 2 / m 2 / m 2 / m , and mm2 (orthorhombic). (The short form of 2 / m 2 / m 2 / m is mmm.)
Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate, with the formula (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO 3, and member of the pyroxenoid group of minerals, crystallizing in the triclinic system. It commonly occurs as cleavable to compact masses with a rose-red color (its name comes from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) 'rose'), often tending to brown due to surface oxidation.
Oligoclase is a high sodium feldspar crystallizing in the triclinic system. The Mohs hardness is 6 to 6.5 and the specific gravity is 2.64 to 2.66. The refractive indices are: nα = 1.533–1.543, nβ = 1.537–1.548, and nγ = 1.542–1.552. In color it is usually white, with shades of grey, green, or red. [1]
Gabrielite is part of the triclinic crystal system, which means that the pseudohexagonal shape that this mineral occurs in nature with only has a center of symmetry. Looking into the optical mineralogy of this mineral we have to define if the mineral is isotropic (uniformity properties in all directions on the axes), or anisotropic (when ...
