Dana Crystal Models - orthorhombic

by ntdesign

This is a reproduction of "The Dana Set of Wooden Crystal Models" originally produced by Dr. Krantz Rheinisches Mineralien-Kontor (Bonn). triclinic monoclinic orthorhombic hexagonal/trigonal tetragonal cubic I recreated the models based on reference images in "Dana's Textbook of Mineralogy" ( https://archive.org/details/DanasTextbookOfMineralogy ), with forms taken from the catalogue available here (provided by the company): https://mineralogy.eu/models/Krantz/Krantz_31_3.pdf Whenever a model corresponds to a crystal structure, the known unit cell constants were used. In all other cases I approximated to match the pictures in Dana's book. Please note that I do not have an original set to compare, so there might be small differences. Also the scaling is arbitrary and probably totally different. There's a labelled (by catalogue number) and unlabelled version. I also include the OpenScad file I used for embossing, in case somebody wants to adjust the labels. Changes I made to correct apparent errors in the catalogue (to match Dana's book): No. 157: {011} changed to {110} ({011} appeared twice in catalogue) Big Thanks to Prof. Gervais Chapuis for making me aware of this set's existence and sending me his catalogue!
