Monoclinic System Crystal Lattice Unit Cell

The model of the monoclinic system shown below has the following specifications:
  • The front & back planes form a rectangle; vertical bonds are 65mm; horizontal are 125mm
  • The front plane connects to the back plane with 83mm bonds
  • The acute angle in the top & bottom planes is 60-70 degrees
  • The obtuse angles in the top & bottom planes is 110-120 degrees
  • There are holes in the equatorial position that are 60 or 70 & 110 or 120 degrees apart
  • The top atoms connect to the bottom atoms using the polar holes
The monoclinic unit cell model shown below is approximately 200mm (8") per side and is ideal for classroom demonstration. Crystals showing monoclinic structure include gypsum and mica.
