A lot of the images, movies and graphics in this section are computer generated renderings, using data sets and software retrieved from the Internet.
Most of this would not be possible without the kind souls who made their knowledge and the fruits of their work freely available to the public.
The starting point for my computer renderings of idealized quartz crystals was the program "kristall" by Berthold Weber that can bedownloaded here from hisMineralien-Seite. It runs under Linux/X11 and can export the drawings topovray, which has been used to render the final images. Movies have been generated from png-images withmplayer.
Q_x+s_left.lst - Prism, r- and z-rhombohedra, s- and x-faces combined in a left quartz
Q_x+s_right.lst - Prism, r- and z-rhombohedra, s- and x-faces combined in a right quartz
Q_x+s+M_right.lst - Prism, r- and z-rhombohedra, s- and x-faces combined with positive rhombohedra M in a right quartz
Q_x+s+Psi_right.lst - Prism, r-, z-, s- and x-faces combined with negative rhombohedra Ψ in a right quartz
Q_x+s+Psi_Corinto_right.lst - Prism, r-, z-, s-faces combined with negative rhombohedra Ψ in a right quartz, with the typical habit found in Corinto, Brazil
