Abstract:Recebido em 19/9/09; aceito em 18/5/10; publicado na web em 22/9/10 QUINARY AXIS: AN ELEMENT OF SYMMETRY THAT OCCURS IN MOLECULES AND QUASICRYSTALS -A DIDACTIC EXPERIMENT OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHY. Axis of quinary symmetry occur in molecular symmetry, as in the case of fullerenes, and in crystalline symmetry, in the quasicrystals. Minerals with pentagonal faces do not have this element of symmetry, as the pyrite (FeS 2 ) which shows a ridge that is different from the other ones, in any face of the crystal. The purpos… Show more
