Clipart illustrations of crystals of numerous minerals. These crystalline minerals are created through natural processes, and so often times there are numerous crystal shapes for any given mineral (polycrystalline materials).

Clinographic drawing of a cubic crystal
"A drawing of a crystal showing a combination of the cube, octahedron and rhombic dodecahedron is shown, in which the faces are lettered the same as the corresponding poles in the projection." -The En... |

Columbite
"Orthohombic. Habit of crystals is short prismatic; often in square prisms because of prominent development of the vertical pinacoids. Terminated by basal plane, pyramids and domes; frequently compl... |
