	The Isometric (Cubic) Crystal System
		Of the seven crystal systems, the isometric system possesses the highest symmetry.
		Keep in mind that cell parameters do not define the crystal class, but are a consequence of the symmetry elements that define the system.
		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.

	Crystal Growing K-12 Experiments for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects
		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.
		The crystal systems are a grouping of crystal structures according to their basic symmetry characteristics, and each crystal system can be described by a set of three axes in a particular geometrical arrangement.

	Intro to Minerals: Crystal Class and System
		(The rhombohedral lattice is a subset of the hexagonal crystal system.)
		Crystals of this system tend to be of prismatic, tabular, or acicular habit.
		It is thus apparent that the characteristic symmetry element of the isometric crystal system is the possession of four 3-fold axes of rotational symmetry, while the characteristic symmetry element of the rhombohedral division of the hexagonal crystal system is the possession of a single 3-fold axis of rotational symmetry.

	Crystalline Structures \| Crystal Lattice \| Crystal System
		The crystal system is a grouping of crystal structures that are categorized according to the axial system used to describe their "lattice".
		The Hexagonal crystal system is has four crystallographic axes consisting of three equal horizontal or equatorial (a, b, and d) axes at 120º, and one vertical (c) axis that is perpendicular to the other three.
		Although a crystal structure is an orderly arrangement of atoms on a lattice, the order may be different along different directions or axis in the crystal.

	Cubic (crystal system)
		In crystallography, the cubic crystal system is the most symmetric of the 7 crystal systems.
		The system is composed of the three Bravais lattices whose symmetry group is that of a cube.
		The point groups that fall under this crystal system are listed below, followed by their representations in international notation and Schoenflies notation, and mineral examples.

	Crystal Systems
		If a mineral belongs to the isometric crystal system, you will be able to find four 3-fold rotation axes on well-formed crystals of that mineral.
		If a mineral belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system, you will be able to find either three two-fold rotation axes (with or without mirrors perpendicular to them) OR only one 2-fold rotation axis that has two mutually perpendicular mirror planes parallel to it.
		The triclinic crystal system has three crystallographic axes (a, b, and c), all of different lengths, and all at angles different than 90 degrees.

	Your Gemologist Study of the Seven Crystal Systems
		The reason being is that the trigonal system is very close to the hexagonal system with the exception that the crystal surfaces are rounded somewhat to give a triagonal shape rather than a clean, well defined hexagonal or six sided shape.
		This is where the debate lies regarding whether or not the trigonal system is a system into itself or simply a sub-category of the hexagonal crystal system.
		This system is one of the least symmetrical of the crystal systems, Until now most systems had some form or symmetry, meaning as you turn the stone you would see the same shape repeat itself as the crystal turns.

	Bob's Rock Shop: Introduction to Crystallography and Mineral Crystal Systems
		A FORM is a group of crystal faces, all having the same relationship to the elements of symmetry of a given crystal system.
		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.

	Rhombohedral crystal system Information
		In crystallography, the rhombohedral (or trigonal) crystal system is one of the 7 lattice point groups.
		A crystal system is described by three basis vectors.
		In the rhombohedral system, the crystal is described by vectors of equal length, all three of which are not mutually orthogonal.

	Crystal system (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Crystals that are essentially cube-shaped, like dice, with three pairs of sides the same length, breadth and height.
		Some cubic crystals may have developed further into 8- or 12-sided shapes, but these still belong to the cubic system.
		The crystals have three faces at right angles to one another, but only two are equal in length, breadth and height.

	Crystal Systems
		There are six crystal systems and although some count the rhombohedral or trigonal subdivision as the seventh crystal system.
		The difference between the crystal systems is determined by crystallographic axes and angles.
		The difference is that in the hexagonal system, the prism is six sided and in the trigonal system, it a three sided prism.

	Crystal System
		Under ideal conditions, the result may be a single crystal, where all of the atoms in the solid fit into the same lattice or crystalstructure but, generally, many crystals form simultaneously during solidification, leading to a polycrystalline solid.
		Which crystal structure the fluid will form depends on thechemistry of the fluid, the conditions under which it is being solidified, and also on the ambient pressure.
		Depending on the type of system, a system can often be distinguished from individual machines, elements or processes of that system by thenumber, arrangements and complexity of those elements.

	Bob's Rock Shop: Introduction to Crystallography and Mineral Crystal Systems
		In the isometric system, all 3 crystallographic axes are at right angles to each other and are the same length.
		Crystal forms in the isometric system have the highest degree of SYMMETRY, when compared to all the other crystal systems.
		No crystal system even approaches a sphere's degree of symmetry, but the isometric system is often quickly recognizable because some of the forms and combinations of forms somewhat approach sphericity (or, at least, roundness), especially when the faces begin to be curved, due to the high degree of symmetry in the isometric system.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Crystal system
		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 class of point groups.
		The 73 symmorphic space groups (see space group) are largely combinations, within each crystal system, of each applicable point group with each applicable Bravais lattice: there are 2, 6, 12, 14, 5, 7, and 15 combinations, respectively, together 61.
		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.
