    This document discusses stereographic projections and crystallographic point groups. Stereographic projections are used to display crystal morphology by plotting faces and symmetry equivalents. There are 32 crystallographic point groups divided into the 7 crystal systems of triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic. Examples of stereographic projections are provided for some triclinic point groups. Multiple choice questions are included to test understanding of crystal systems and point groups.

    crystal
    morphology.
    (Crystal Classes) • X for upper

    Hermann-Mauguin Symbols
    • Three positions in H-M symbol

    • Triclinic: No unique axis Only 1 or -1


    • We will use stereographic projections to plot the • Monoclinic: (b-unique) [010]
    perpendicular to a general face and its symmetry • Orthorhombic: [100], [010], [001]
    equivalents (general form hkl). • Tetragonal: [001], [100], [110]
    • Trigonal: [001], [100],
    • Illustrated above are the stereographic projections
    • Hexagonal: [001], [100], [210]
