	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.

		(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.

	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.
		In the United States it is taught that the trigonal system is a sub-system of the hexagonal.
		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.

	Refractive Index and Critical Angle
		The isometric crystal system is unique in that it embraces all crystalline forms that are referred to three crystallographic axes of equal length and at right angles to each other, with the result that all three crystallographic axes of isometric (cubic) crystals are optically interchangeable.
		Anisotropic crystals are subdivided into the isodametric class, embracing crystals in the tetragonal and hexagonal crystal systems; and the anisometric class, embracing crystals in the orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic crystal systems.
		Crystals in the anisometric class are referred to three unequal crystallographic axes, which may be perpendicular or oblique to one another, depending on whether the material is a member of the orthorhombic, monoclinic or triclinic crystal systems.

		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 point group of a crystal, among other things, determines the symmetry of the crystal's optical properties.
		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.

		Further, it was found that since in the aluminum nitride crystal the axis a or b was approximately 0.4-0.5% greater in the vicinity of the grain boundary phase than in the crystal grain center, a tensile stress existed in the aluminum nitride crystals.

		A face can be repeated on a crystal when the crystal is rotated around this axis and a new face is left at various intervals during the rotation.
		Thus the 1 fold axis rotates the crystal in 360 degree intervals, the 2 fold interval is 180 degrees, the 3 fold interval is 120 degrees, the 4 fold interval is 90 degrees and the 6 fold interval is 60 degrees.
		However in the triclinic system it is the only possible symmetry operation except for a one fold rotational axis, which is actually just returning a crystal face to its original position.
