Substitution, Solid Solutions, and an Introduction to Silicate Mineral
... Compositional Variation in Minerals – Solid Solutions Most minerals have chemical compositions that may vary within restricted limits. The chemical extrema or bounds for a given mineral, say olivine or plagioclase feldspar, are called endmembers. Substitution of one chemical species, in most mine ...

... If an object looks the same after rotation of 360o/n, that object is said to have nfold rotational symmetry or an n-fold axis Called n-fold, because it takes n rotations to return to its original position Only certain angles ("-folds") of rotational symmetry are possible in minerals ...

Wallpaper group
A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and decorative art. There are 17 possible distinct groups.Wallpaper groups are two-dimensional symmetry groups, intermediate in complexity between the simpler frieze groups and the three-dimensional crystallographic groups (also called space groups).
