EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio photograph, large, black crystals of Perovskite take center stage, their pseudocubic shape showcasing the intricate geometry of this intriguing mineral. The Perovskite crystal structure, named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski, is a common arrangement for oxides of calcium, strontium, barium, and other elements. In this specific instance, calcium and titanium are the primary components, making it a significant source of both calcium and titanium, as well as some rare earth metals. The mineral's name, Perovskite, is derived from its native origin in the Ural Mountains of Russia. The crystals' dark hue is a result of the presence of titanium, which imparts its distinctive color. The cubic shape of these Perovskite crystals is a testament to their perfect symmetry, with each face exhibiting the same pattern of atomic arrangement. Perovskite crystals belong to the oxide mineral family, characterized by their chemical composition, which consists of a metal oxide framework. The mineral's name, "oxide," refers to the presence of oxygen ions, which form a complex lattice structure with the metal ions. This stunning photograph offers a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of minerals and their unique properties. The Perovskite crystals, with their perfect cubic symmetry and captivating black color, serve as a reminder of the beauty and complexity that can be found in the natural world.
