Triclinic System
The Triclinic System is one of the seven crystal systems in crystallography. It is characterized by three unequal axes that are all inclined to each other at oblique angles. This means that none of the angles between the axes are 90 degrees, resulting in a lack of symmetry.
Minerals that crystallize in the triclinic system include feldspar and turquoise. Due to its unique structure, the triclinic system is less common compared to other crystal systems, such as the cubic or hexagonal systems. Understanding this system helps in the study of mineral properties and their applications.
