Sep 5, 2011 - The crystals found in rocks exhibit many different kinds of symmetry, the study of which tells us some important things about the structure of solids.

Jan 29, 2014 - consisting of all of the ways of permuting n things. Geologists, mineralogists especially, deal with symmetry all of the time, and some of the most amazing naturally symmetric things I've ever seen are minerals. Oct 24, 2005 - Symmetries, you may have heard, play a crucial role in modern physics. Meaning symmetry often is one of those things we see but can't quite say. When considering this subject, it seems natural to think of symmetric things that appear in nature. Sep 20, 2011 - While “very imperative” is inexcusable, there is such a thing as “very symmetrical”. Apr 18, 2011 - I was surprised that your symmetry episode didn't talk to any mineralogists. A symmetry of an object is a transformation that leaves the object looking exactly the same. But defining symmetry in a few words without handwaving sometimes leads only to hand waving.
