Cubic: |
All 90 angles. All sides the same length. Example: Galena |
|
|
Hexagonal: |
6-sides figure Example: Quartz |
|
|
Tetragonal: |
All 90 angles. Two sides have the same length. the third side is a different length. Example: Zircon |
|
|
Orthorhombic: |
Still all 90 angles. All three sides are different lengths. Think of a brick. All the sets of sides are different, but the angles are 90. Example: Barite |
|
|
Monoclinic: |
Take your brick from orthorhombic and pretend its base is stuck to the floor. Push the top surface to the side. This will make one of the sides not have 90 angles. Example: Orthoclase |
|
|
Triclinic: |
This is the most difficult to draw and visualize. This shape has no 90 angles and all the sides are different lengths. Example: Rhodonite |
