<p><h3>Welcome to 3DVOL – Minerals.</h3><br><br>
|
||
This website contains a three-dimensional virtual object library of the most important rock-forming minerals making up planet Earth. You will find information on:<br>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Which are the most common minerals on Earth?</li>
|
||
<li>What are their most important physical and chemical properties?</li>
|
||
<li>Where in the Earth and under which physical conditions do they form?</li>
|
||
<li>How can they be identified in hand specimen?</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
A mineral is typically defined as an inorganic solid with a particular chemical composition and a characteristic, periodic atomic structure.
|
||
This characteristic atomic make-up is often reflected in the macroscopic crystalline structure of a mineral.
|
||
The 3D models presented on this website will help you to visualise, study, and memorise these beautiful and often
|
||
complex crystal structures as well as other diagnostic features of minerals.
|
||
<br>
|
||
We hope that you enjoy using 3DVOL.
