twinning: Twinning is a common error in crystalization in which two crystals grow out of one another or next to one another, and their crystal lattice is oriented differently from one another (some twins are like a mirror image of each other) If the crystals have grown into one another, they are called penetrant twins (forming a cross-shape like Staurolite, a star-shape like Muscovite, and other unusual shapes) If the crystals are mirror images that grow next to one another, they are called contact twins (they are often likened to Siamese twins) Twinning can drastically change the outward symmetry of the mineral specimen, by either increasing or decreasing the symmetry (like with spinel) For example, twinning can make an orthorhombic crystal appear to be hexagonal (as in Aragonite)
