Triclinic Crystal System

by STEAM3D

Description

The triclinic crystal system is defined by three axes (a, b, c) of unequal lengths, with none of the axes perpendicular to each other (forming non-90° angles: α, β and γ). This system exhibits the lowest symmetry among crystal structures. Examples of minerals that crystallize in the triclinic system include chalcanthite, hilgardite, plagioclase, microcline and wollastonite.
