 Crystalline Structure of Carbon Dioxide Seen for the First Time / February 23, 1998 / News from the USDA Agricultural ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
For the first time, scientists are able to see the crystalline structure of carbon dioxide--a view that could help them learn how the crystals cause the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide ranks high--along with nitrous oxide and methane--as a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming as it increases in concentration in the atmosphere.
Scientists say knowing the crystalline structure may give them clues to the capacity of carbon dioxide gas to absorb and re-radiate energy, which is the behavior of greenhouse gas that makes it so troubling.

 Structure
The structure of a material may be divided into four levels: atomic structure, atomic arrangement, microstructure, and macrostructure.
Atomic structure influences how the atoms are bonded together, which in turn helps one to categorize materials as metals, ceramics, and polymers and permits us to draw some general conclusions concerning the mechanical properties and physical behavior of these three classes of materials.
Perovskites are a large family of crystalline ceramics that derive their name from a specific mineral known as perovskite.

It was then recognized that chemical composition and crystalline form were characters of the first importance, and that external (natural history) characters were often more or less accidental.
relating to chemical composition, crystalline form, crystallo-physical properties and specific gravity; these are identical, or vary only within certain defined limits, in all specimens of the same mineral-species.
Non-essential characters—such as colour, lustre, hardness, form and structure of aggregates--depend largely on the presence of impurities, or on the state of aggregation of imperfectly formed crystalline individuals.

 Turning crystalline as part of the ascension process?
For the time being I give you a link to one of the most comprehensive articles from the SSOA on the crystalline structure, that is from 2002.
As one ascends, a new gridwork which contains the codes for the crystalline form is laid over the old gridwork, and one part of the body is transmuted at a time as the information is integrated down to the cellular level.
Ascension is biological, and unless the crystalline blueprint can be translated down to the form, there is no means of lifting a third-dimensional vessel into another dimension.

 Background on Optical Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Erasing the amorphous phase or creating a crystalline phase is done by heating the amorphous phase material above the glass transition temperature, but holding it below the melting point for enough time to allow the material to change into a crystalline state.
The FCC structure has an isotropic structure similar to the amorphous phase and the atomic distances between the two structures are small.
The stable crystalline structure is a hexagonal (HEX) structure shown in Figure 3.

Evidence has been found that exposes a new form of non-periodic structure that exhibits the qualities of a crystalline material (specifically meaning that it has a bright diffraction pattern).
This restriction requires that a crystal structure is periodic and has only 2, 3, 4, or 6-fold rotational symmetry.
The quasicrystal is an example of a structure that our current theories of crystalline orgainization cannot accommodate, and thus it provides the need for a reinterpretation of the ordered solid state.

Question: Is it reasonable that several different crystalline structures develop during a constant, consistent crystallization process?
