The flat sur face of a crys tal is known as its face, and where two
faces meet is the edge. The place where two edges meet is known as the
cor ner. The edges sur round ing a face gen er al ly form a sim ple geo met ri -
cal shape such as a tri an gle or square. When all the sur fa ces that con sti -
tute the crys tal are brought togeth er, then cubic, rec tan gu lar or hex ag o -
nal prisms result. These struc tures can some times be very much more

The impair ment of crys tal line struc ture makes the sub stance
