A Study of Nail-Head Spicule Inclusion in Natural Gemstones
... Nail-head spicules are wedge-shaped two-phase (liquid and gas) inclusions capped by crystals that act as growth obstacles. In synthetic materials, they may occur in numerous places throughout the sample, but they mainly appear near the seed plate. According to Gübelin and Koivula (1986), since the f ...

Crystal structure
In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid. It describes a highly ordered structure, occurring due to the intrinsic nature of its constituents to form symmetric patterns.The crystal lattice can be thought of as an array of 'small boxes' infinitely repeating in all three spatial directions. Such a unit cell is the smallest unit of volume that contains all of the structural and symmetry information to build-up the macroscopic structure of the lattice by translation.Patterns are located upon the points of a lattice, which is an array of points repeating periodically in three dimensions. The lengths of the edges of a unit cell and the angles between them are called the lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group.A crystal's structure and symmetry play a role in determining many of its physical properties, such as cleavage, electronic band structure, and optical transparency.
