anorthic
Definition
- Adjective:
- Having three unequal crystal axes intersecting at oblique angles: This is the specific geometric property of a crystal system in mineralogy and crystallography. It describes a lattice structure where the three axes are of different lengths and none of the angles between them are 90 degrees.
Usage Examples
- Adjective:
- Plagioclase feldspar is a common mineral that crystallizes in the anorthic system.
- The anorthic crystal structure is the most general and least symmetric of the seven crystal systems.
Advanced Usage
- "Anorthic system": The full term for the crystal system itself, synonymous with the "triclinic system".
- In the anorthic system, there are no axes of rotational symmetry.
Variants and Related Words
- Triclinic (adj): A complete synonym for "anorthic" in crystallography.
- The triclinic lattice is characterized by its low symmetry.
Synonyms
- Triclinic: Having three unequal axes intersecting at oblique angles. (This is the direct and most common synonym in scientific contexts.)
Adjective
-
