The assignment was to use research the growth behavior, geometric characteristics, and elemental structure of aragonite, abalone nacre, and calcite. This will give us a good foundation to understand these crystals and help us incorporate them in our upcoming projects.

The assignment was to make a hand drawing of our chosen crystal and include the geometry, elements, and growth behaviors. I chose calcite in a trigonal system and used the SEM image to the right for reference.

Using our poster we were instructed to highlight the growth structure and geometry of the chosen crystal. I used red lines to express the details and complexity of the trigonal calcite while using purple lines to outline and emphasize the overall system.
