A subhedral sample showing sharp to anhedral pyrargyrite crystals. Euhedral and anhedral are terms used to describe opposite properties in the formation of crystals. Euhedral (also known as idiomorphic or automorphic) crystals are those that are well-formed, with sharp, easily recognised faces. The opposite is anhedral (also known as ...
The primitive and cubic close-packed (also known as face-centered cubic) unit cells. 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:
Pink dolomite druse with yellow calcite crystals, Ben Hogan Quarry, Lawrence County Zinc District, Arkansas; size: 14.9 cm × 8.5 cm × 3.7 cm (5.9 in × 3.3 in × 1.5 in) In geology and mineralogy, druse is a crystal habit represented by the coating of fine crystals on a rock fracture surface, [ 1] or vein or within a vug or geode. [ 2]
Rarely, it can be found as neon green or electric blue. Tourmaline ( / ˈtʊərməlɪn, - ˌliːn / TOOR-mə-lin, -leen) is a crystalline silicate mineral group in which boron is compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium. This gemstone comes in a wide variety of colors.
Texture (chemistry) Pole figures displaying crystallographic texture of gamma-TiAl in an alpha2-gamma alloy, as measured by high energy X-rays. [ 1] In physical chemistry [unreliable source?] and materials science, texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations of a polycrystalline sample (it is also part of the geological fabric ...
"Imperial Porphyry" from the Red Sea Mountains of Egypt A waterworn cobble of porphyry Rhyolite porphyry from Colorado; scale bar in lower left is 1 cm (0.39 in). Porphyry (/ ˈ p ɔːr f ə r i / POR-fə-ree) is any of various granites or igneous rocks with coarse-grained crystals such as feldspar or quartz dispersed in a fine-grained silicate-rich, generally aphanitic matrix or groundmass.
Goethite is an iron oxyhydroxide containing ferric iron. It is the main component of rust and bog iron ore. Goethite's hardness ranges from 5.0 to 5.5 on the Mohs Scale, and its specific gravity varies from 3.3 to 4.3. The mineral forms prismatic needle-like crystals ("needle ironstone" [ 3]) but is more typically massive.
