Infinite symmetry applied to crystals and crystal aggregates
Abstract
Infinite symmetry is referred to for describing in a more rational manner the morphology of certain crystals and crystal, particularly mineral aggregates. Their non-crystallographic forms depend on the peculiarities of their structure, enhanced growth along preferred directions and on the symmetry and composition of the growth environment. Apart from the seven Curie forms others, fitting the corresponding point groups are suitably added as variants of the growth geometry, applicable also to the property of matter.
