Excerpt from Text-Book of Systematic Mineralogy
Upon similar utilitarian considerations a mixed system of notation has been adopted in the crystallographic part, the forms being designated in the text by their symbols according to Naumann, while the notation of their faces is by indices on Miller's system. As a matter of personal preference, the latter System would have been adopted exclusively but, having regard to the fact that the former is used much more extensively than any other system, both in text-books and in original memoirs, familiarity with its use is very desirable to students.
In the hexagonal system, the bravais-miller notation by indices on four axes has been adopted, as showing most clearly the relation between it and the tetragonal system.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the fundamental principles of crystallography, the study of the forms, structures, and compositions of crystals. The author begins by introducing the basic concepts of crystal symmetry, exploring foundational ideas such as rationality and axes of symmetry. The book delves into six crystallographic systems, each characterized by distinct symmetry elements. These range from the simple triclinic system to the complex cubic system, providing a thorough understanding of their geometric relationships and classifications. The author also discusses hemihedrism and tetartohedrism, important concepts in understanding crystal morphology. The book highlights the significance of crystallography in mineralogy, explaining how the forms and structures of crystals can reveal insights into their chemical compositions. Additionally, it explores the relationship between a crystal's form and its physical properties, such as cleavage, hardness, and optical characteristics. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in mineralogy, crystallography, and related fields. It provides a solid foundation in the fundamental principles underlying the study of crystals, enabling readers to delve deeper into the fascinating world of these remarkable natural structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334014703_0
