    MINERALS

    Formed by inorganic processes


    *4-fold rotational symmetry
    3 types of symmetry operations: rotation, reflection, and inversion

    Rotation symmetry
    Mirror symmetry
    Center of symmetry

    In fact, in crystals there are 32 possible combinations of symmetry


    elements.  These 32 combinations define the 32 Crystal Classes.
