Powderdiffraction, #XRD, is probably the best method to identify and describe minerals, only disadvantage, it needs a rather expensive equipment.
nadwgab.bsky.social Nadine, Hunter of Rocks @nadwgab.bsky.social · Nov 8
I spent all day down in the labs using XRD (x-ray diffraction) to identify some powdered mineral samples. Basically you fire x-rays at your sample, a machine measures how the rays are diffracted and this tells you the chemistry and structure of you sample! #minerals #science

The structures of mcgovernite and carlfrancisite reconsidered: static disorder or ordered defects and twinning?
A reconsideration of the crystal structures of mcgovernite and carlfrancisite gives noncentrosymmetric structures with ordered planar defects instead of random site disorder in centrosymmetric ones.

Top dusted adhesive tape sample preparation method for the X-ray diffraction analysis of small powder sample volumes with the Bragg–Brentano setup
This work provides practical information on the conventional top dusted sample preparation method and the top dusted adhesive tape sample preparation method. For the top dusted adhesive tape method, tapes with matte acetate or polyvinyl chloride backing are recommended as they cause a comparatively low background signal without high-intensity reflections.

Importance of powder diffraction raw data archival in a curated database for materials science applications
