Twinned minerals have their own following in the mineral collecting hobby. There are collectors that are only interested in twinned minerals. Twins can add a ...
Twinning is actually rather common in the mineral kingdom, however perfectly formed twins are not. Minerals that commonly grow well formed twins are known to nearly ...
Crystal twinning occurs when two separate crystals share some of the same crystal lattice points in a symmetrical manner. The result is an intergrowth of two separate ...
Symmetry Operations that Define Twinning. Because symmetry is added to a crystal by twinning, twining can be defined by the symmetry operations that are involved.
