Curvature of Crystal Planes (Diamond)

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Curvature of crystal planes is quite a constant property of some substances. It may be due to a very fine oscillatory combinations or to an irregularity of growth and a want of perfect parallelism between sub-individuals. A common instance is the Diamond, whose faces, except those of the octahedron, are almost always curved.
