Example Crystal Morphology - To further illustrate these symmetry elements, the example crystalline forms for each symmetry class were constructed using Faces (version 3.7) by Georges Favreau for older browsers and a JAVA language program called JCrystal by Steffen Weber for the java-capable browsers. The example crystals in each group and class were constructed using the following parameters:

• Crystallographic axes: a=1, b=1, c=1.
• Forms: [214], [104], [024], [100], [010] (Color coded in all example crystals).

This morphology was used in all the crystal groups and classes for drawing the examples and the stereo images. The higher order forms were selected to best illustrate some of the subtle differences in the symmetry classes. Remember, most real crystals will probably not have similar forms when compared to the examples.

Table Crystallography (Mason 68, p18) - The thirty-two crystal classes are summarized by symmetry elements in the following table which is linked to:

1. Example crystal images within the crystallography group in the yellow columns.
2. Stereo crystal images/java example and mineral listings of each group and class in the green columns.
3. JAVA crystal examples on the individual crystal classes for detailed study. Please note that the rotational inversion axes of 3,(3^BAR) 4 (4^BAR), and 6 (6^BAR) may not be visible to older browsers which don't use cascading style sheets (.css).
