Here are the answers to the questions about the crystal drawing: a) Insert and label the elements of symmetry: • One 4-fold rotation axis (C_4): Vertical, passing through the center of the crystal. • Four 2-fold rotation axes (C_2): Horizontal, two parallel to the a-axes, and two bisecting the angles between the a-axes. • Five mirror planes (m): One horizontal mirror plane, and four vertical mirror planes (two containing the a-axes, and two bisecting the angles between the a-axes). • One center of inversion (i): Located at the center of the crystal. b) Index the faces labelled G, H and J: G: (111) H: (100) J: (010) c) State, with reasons, the system to which the model belongs. Crystal system: Tetragonal Reason(s): The crystal possesses a single principal axis of four-fold rotational symmetry. Its two horizontal crystallographic axes (a_1 and a_2) are equal in length and perpendicular to each other, while the vertical axis (c) is perpendicular to a_1 and a_2 but of a different length. d) Which mineral crystallizes in such a habit?
