• How do we keep track of the faces of a crystal?
• Sylvite a= 6.293 Å
• Fluorite a = 5.463 Å
• Pyrite a = 5.418 Å
• Galena a = 5.936 Å

Crystal MorphologyHow do we keep track of the faces of a crystal?
Remember, face sizes may vary, but angles can't
Note: Note: “interfacial “interfacial angle”angle” = the angle = the angle between the faces between the faces measured like thismeasured like this

Crystal MorphologyHow do we keep track of the faces of a crystal?
Remember, face sizes may vary, but angles can't
Thus it's the orientation & angles that are the best source of our indexing
Miller Index is the accepted indexing method
It uses the relative intercepts of the face in question with the crystal axes

• Forms can be open or closed– Cube block demo
• Forms on stereonets– Cube faces on stereonet

• General form– {hkl} not on, parallel, or perpendicular to any
symmetry element
• Special form– On, parallel, or perpendicular to any symmetry
element
• Rectangle block– Find symmetry, plot symmetry, plot special face,
general face, determine multiplicity

Space groups
• Point symmetry: symmetry about a point– 32 point groups, 6 crystal systems
• Combine point symmetry with translation, you have space groups– 230 possible combinations
