  1. Crystallography Gypsum Monoclinic Dolomite Triclinic Emerald Hexagonal Andalusite Orthorhombic Garnet Isometric

  2. Symmetry Symbols • Reflection (m)- produced by a mirror plane that passes through a crystal structure so the pattern on one side is a mirror image of the pattern on the other. (symmetry over a plane) • How many mirror planes do these crystals have? Both have 3! So notation is 3m

  3. Rotation (A)- rotational symmetry involves repeating a motif by a set of uniform rotations around an axis. (symmetry about an axis) • Repeating the pattern every 120° of rotation means 3-fold symmetry. • Every 60° = 6-fold symmetry • Denoted as #Ax where x=x fold rotational symmetry Orthorhombic- 3 axes of 2-fold symmetry, so notation is 3A2

  5. Inversion (i)- also known as center symmetry. Any line drawn through the origin will find identical features equidistant from the origin on the opposite side. Both of these crystals have center symmetry (i)

  6. Rotoinversion (Āx) - involves a rotation and inversion to repeat a pattern • Denoted as #Āx where x=x fold rotational symmetry • Note Ā1 = i and Ā2 = m i 3Ā3 m

  7. The 32 crystal classes represent the 32 possible combinations of symmetry operations.  • Each crystal class will have crystal faces that uniquely define the symmetry of the class.  • These faces, or groups of faces are called crystal forms.

  8. Note that the 32 crystal classes are divided into 6 crystal systems. • The Triclinic System has only 1-fold or 1-fold rotoinversion axes. • The Monoclinic System has only mirror plane(s) or a single 2-fold axis. • The Orthorhombic System has only two fold axes or a 2-fold axis and 2 mirror planes. • The Tetragonal System has either a single 4-fold or 4-fold rotoinversion axis. • The Hexagonal System has no 4-fold axes, but has at least 1 6-fold or 3-fold axis. • The Isometric System has either 4 3-fold axes or 4 3-fold rotoinversion axes.
