The site also includes links to other webpages about crystal structures. The Java applet allows the user to rotate and change the size of the crystal. This website features interactive Java applets of a variety of crystal structures of minerals and non-minerals. Several different graphical representations, an interactive Java applet of the structure, and useful information about the lattices can be obtained by clicking on images of crystal structures. Naval Research Laboratory, offers a concise index of common crystal lattice structures, including those from minerals and non-minerals. The site is searchable by mineral, author, chemistry, or cell parameters and symmetry. The database is maintained under the care of the Mineralogical Society of America and the Mineralogical Association of Canada, and financed by the National Science Foundation. This site is an interface to a crystal structure database that includes every structure published in the American Mineralogist, the Canadian Mineralogist, and the European Journal of Mineralogy. American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database.The following online resources contain files which can be downloaded for interactive viewing either from a stand-alone visualization software or viewed from the website as a Java applet.
