Abstract
A crystal is said to be twinned when it contains regions whose atomic structures, being uniform in each region, are mutually related by some well defined law and this law is repeatedly observed in many samples of the crystalline species. These requirements distinguish twins from polycrystalline aggregates in which the crystallites are randomly oriented. Since the beginning of crystallography as a science, twinned crystals provided objects interesting to describe. Their investigation was rather academic, with useful aspects in the determination of minerals. New impulses for the investigation of twinning have been connected with practical uses of crystalline materials (metals, quartz).
