2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

   In crystallography, the cubic (or isometric) crystal system is a crystal system where the unit cell is in the shape of a cube. This is one of the most common and simplest shapes found in crystals and minerals. There are three main varieties of these crystals: Primitive cubic (abbreviated cP and alternatively called simple cubic)

3. Crystal system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

   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).

   Pyrite cubic crystals on marl from Navajún, La Rioja, Spain (size: 95 by 78 millimetres [3.7 by 3.1 in], 512 grams [18.1 oz]; main crystal: 31 millimetres [1.2 in] on edge) Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold , hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold .

A bead is a small, decorative object that is formed in a variety of shapes and sizes of a material such as stone, bone, shell, glass, plastic, wood, or pearl and with a small hole for threading or stringing. Beads range in size from under 1 ...

6. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

   In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. Tetragonal crystal lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its lattice vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base ( a by a ) and height ( c , which is different from a ).

7. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

   This shape is dictated by a concept known as crystal degeneration according to Tiller. The size and diameter of the obtained crystals is a function of the cross-sectional area of the crucible, volume of the melt and composition of the melt. [3] The diameter of the crystals is heavily influenced by the concentration of Y 2 O 3 stabilizer.
