Twins – rational, symmetrical intergrowths of two or more crystals of the same substance. The two or more individuals are related by a new symmetry element that was not already present in the untwinned single crystal. Twin laws - • A mirror plane or twin plane • A rotation axis or twin axis • An inversion about a point or twin center Mirror plane Rotation axis
Primary twins (growth twins) are due to nucleation errors that occur during crystal growth. The original pattern of the crystal is interrupted in a regular way. Secondary twins – modification of a crystal after its formed. Result of mechanical deformation or displacive transformation of one polymorph into another. Twins are classified as • Contact twins – a regular composition plane joins the two individuals • Penetration twins – appear to be intergrown. Usually produced by rotation and defined by an axis of rotation. • Multiple twins – three of more individual crystals are twinned according to the same twin law. Polysynthetic twin if all the composition faces are parallel
