  Intro to Minerals: Crystal Class and System
For example, crystals of the holomorphic class of the isometric system possess inversion symmetry, three 4-fold axes of rotational symmetry, the characteristic set of four 3-fold axes of rotational symmetry which is indicative of the isometric crystal system, six 2-fold axes of rotational symmetry, and nine different mirror planes.
In contrast, a crystal which is not a member of the holomorphic class yet still belongs to the isometric system may possess only three 2-fold axes of rotational symmetry and the characteristic four 3-fold axes of rotational symmetry.
The rhombic pyramidal crystal class is thus a member of the orthorhombic crystal system, the tetragonal pyramidal class is a member of the tetragonal crystal system, and the trigonal and hexagonal pyramidal classes are members of the rhombohedral (trigonal) and hexagonal divisions of the hexagonal crystal system respectively.

Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on the chemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure.
A crystal structure is composed of a unit cell, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way; which is periodically repeated in three dimensions on a lattice.

 Outer Form of Crystals
When we consider an initial crystal face on a crystal that possesses this axis, then the face generated by subjecting this initial face to the workings of this axis must also be present on that crystal.
Because these remaining Crystal Classes (of the Isometric System) are all less symmetric than the Cubic Hexakisoctahedral Class, and because we can order these Classes according to a decreasing symmetry, we can generate the shapes of crystals of these less symmetrical Classes by starting, not with the basic faces, but with the basic Forms.
The crystal is replaced by a set of face perpendiculars, by drawing perpendiculars originated from some point in the crystal to all the faces (or their extentions) of the crystal.

 The Mind's Eye: Crystal Master Prestige Class (v.3.5)
This essentially means that she adds the level of crystal master to the level of whatever psionic manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly.
If a character had more than one psionic class before she became a crystal master, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of crystal master for the purpose of determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.
The crystal master must maintain psionic focus to use this ability and her psicrystal also must be in physical contact with her body to gain any benefit.

 Crystal system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A crystal system is a category of space groups, which characterize symmetry of structures in three dimensions with translational symmetry in three directions, having a discrete symmetry group.
A major application is in crystallography, to categorize crystals, but by itself the topic is one of 3D Euclidean geometry.
The crystal structures of biological molecules (such as protein structures) can only occur in the 11 enantiomorphic point groups, as biological molecules are invariably chiral.

 Bob's Rock Shop: Introduction to Crystallography and Mineral Crystal Systems
All the crystal faces present are the expression of the repetition of a single form having the Miller indices of {111} about the three crystallographic axes (remember those from the first article?).
Each face on a natural crystal (octahedral galena or fluorite are examples), when rotated to the position of the (111) face in the drawing, would have the same shape and orientation of striations, growth pits or stair steps, and etch pits, if present.
The latter notation tells us how to orient the crystal, in each specific crystal class, to recognize which axis (a, b, or c) is designated as having the highest symmetry.

Crystals shoot from these smaller volumes of liquid quite quickly and can grow to a length of a few millimetres by the time the big jars are ready to take them.
Notice that the crystal on the left has a large intergrowth emerging on its (100) face, and that the (110) and (-110) faces of the left-hand crystal are unequally developed, masking the rotational symmetry: the (1 -1 0) and (-1 -1 0) faces are equally developed.

 Hexagonal Crystal System IX
This Class is also called Rhombohedric-hemimorphic Class, because the number of faces of the Forms of this Class is half that of the Rhombohedric Hemihedric Division.
The result is that faces at the top of a crystal belong to different Forms of this Class than those at the underside of the crystal.
The Forms of this Class will be found when we subject the Forms of the Trigonal Hemihedric Division (described in Part Eight) to hemimorphy, which means that we suppress their equatorial mirror plane.

Crystals usually have several forms, and can look remarkably different, depending on how pronounced each form is. The applet to the left and following applets show the progression from Cube to Octahedron.

 Isometric Crystal System
In deriving this Class and its Forms we shall repeat some things already expounded in the previous Essay on the Morphology of Crystals, but there it was meant as a specific example serving in a more general context.
To derive this Form we tilt the basic face of Figure 1 in the most general way, which means that we turn it to the effect that the cut-off pieces of the Y-axis and the Z-axis increase, but to an unequal extent, while the cut-off piece of the X-axis remains the same.
The Forms of this hemihedric Symmetry Class are derived from the ones of the Holohedric Division (the Hexakisoctahedral Crystal Class) by suppressing the six secondary mirror planes.
