Facts about crystallography

  • Some crystals, such as green emeralds, form when magma cools very slowly.
    Diamonds and rubies are also forms of crystals.
    Snowflakes, which form in clouds, are considered ice crystals Crystals are used in quartz watches and to enable the watch to keep accurate time.
Today, crystallographers study the atomic structure of any material that can build a crystal, from very simple substances to viruses, proteins or huge protein complexes. But they also investigate a wide variety of other materials, such as membranes, liquid crystals, fibers, glasses, liquids, gases and quasicrystals.
