Geometry of Crystal Structure

Expanding on concepts learned in the Introduction to Mineral Crystals (60158-00) lab, here students construct models of the six basic crystal shapes, then derive their own definitions of each form by making observations, taking measurements and recording their findings.

They measure lengths of axes, observe the geometric shape of facets, and study symmetry.

Delivery information: Includes: 10 models each: cubic, hexagonal, monoclinic, orthorhombic, triclinic, tetragonal; 1 pkg. axes; 15 contact goniometers; 30 student worksheets and guides; 1 instruction manual.
