Kristalliliste

Kristalliliste is a German term that translates roughly to "crystal list." It is not a standard scientific term with a universal definition, but in German-language contexts it may be used to describe a structured catalogue or database of crystalline materials. Such a kristalliliste is designed to organize information about crystals by criteria like crystal system, space group, chemical composition, lattice parameters, and key properties.

Entries in a kristalliliste typically include mineral or crystal name, chemical formula, crystal system, space group, unit-cell parameters, notable locality, occurrence, physical properties (hardness, refractive index), and common uses or applications. The format can be digital or printed, and the list is often designed to facilitate comparison, retrieval, and analysis across different crystal types.

In practice, the concept of a kristalliliste overlaps with established crystal databases and catalogues, such as crystallography and mineralogy reference works, but the term itself is more of a descriptive label than a standardized resource. It is used to describe a general, curated collection of crystal information rather than a specific, authoritative dataset. See also crystallography, mineralogy, crystal databases.
