Abstract

Crystallography is a science that investigates the three-dimensional structure ofcrystalline solids, spanning areas such as physics, chemistry, and geology. This study isessential to understand the properties of materials, from small organic molecules to mineralsand macromolecules like proteins. Widely used in determining the properties of drugs andbioactive compounds, crystallography explores how atomic and molecular arrangementinfluences the biological characteristics and activities of compounds. The study of mineralcrystal structures, dating back to the early days of X-ray crystallography, reveals howatomic organization defines physical properties of minerals, such as hardness, cleavage,and luster. Examples like beryl and quartz illustrate the practical application of theseinsights, from jewelry making to the industrial use of minerals. Mineral crystallographynot only contributes to the identification and classification of minerals and rocks but isalso crucial in the extraction, processing, and application of mineral resources in industry.Moreover, it continues to expand our understanding of minerals and their properties,driving technological innovations and sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
