Crystal system

Hexagonal Crystal Family This week we are combining two crystal systems into one post, the Hexagonal and Trigonal Systems. There is some confusion as to whether or not there are 6 or 7 different Crystal Systems. The confusion arises when Crystal Family is used interchangeable with Crystal System. There are 6 Crystal Families. They include, Cubic, Tetragonal, Hexagonal, Orthorhombic, Monoclinic and Triclinic. However, when referring to Crystal Systems, the Hexagonal Family is subdivided i

The next crystal system we will look at is called the Monoclinic Crystal System. These crystals can be used on grids when we are looking to protect our guard

Crystals in the Cubic System can be used on grids just as bricks are used to build buildings. The energy from their perfectly symmetrical i

To answer the questions below, you only need to read up to and including the notes on "recrystallization." We'll be watching several of the videos and doing the interactives in class.

Triclinic Crystals are used on crystal grids to protect from outside illnesses, influences, negativity or harm. They are like a fence aroun

The next crystal system we will explore is the Orthorhombic. Crystals in this system have an internal structure or lattice shaped like a diamond.

Shapes and Terminology Crystals and gems occur naturally in many forms, shapes and sizes. Crystals are also human created into many shapes.for our mineralogical delight. The various shapes often have their own specific healing uses and applications. SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR CHARTS ON NATURAL QUARTZ FORMATIONS. ABUNDANCE: a long

Tetragonal Crystal System The Tetragonal Crystal System has an internal lattice in a rectangular pattern. Two of their axes are of equal distance and form right angles. They often times have an external sheen to them that instantly grabs the eye. An example of their rectangular axes can be seen below. Crystal Grids Tetragonal Crystals, with their rectangular internal lattice and their eye catching exterior sheen work like magnets to attract what we desire. Just like a magnet only works
