A stereographic projection, like the Miller Indices, is a way to label and keep track of the faces of a crystal. In this system, a pole extends from the center of each crystal going outward to a imagi ...

Thanks in advance. It would be a big help. This is my first upper leval geology class and I'm a little overwhelmed.

This is my first draft. I still have to get my citations right and polish everyth ...

Thank linked page is amazing. Thank you.

Thank you.

Some online sources would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any online source of information that explains why crstallographers label crystal faces?

Thanks.

Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Thank your for taking the time to reply. The question is as follows:

" How and why do crystallographers label crystal faces? How are these labels related to stereographic projections that ulti ...

I have to write about a page or two on this and I'm not sure which way to go with this.

Basically I have that each face has a pole that is positioned based on its Miller index value. This pole exte ...
