Hermann–Mauguin notation
In geometry, Hermann–Mauguin notation is used to represent the symmetry elements in point groups, plane groups and space groups.
See Empressite and Hermann–Mauguin notation
In chemistry and physics, metastability is an intermediate energetic state within a dynamical system other than the system's state of least energy.
See Empressite and Metastability
Mineral
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid substance with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.
Opacity
Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light.
Orthorhombic crystal system
In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems.

Telluric silver
Telluric silver (telluriumsilber, tellursilber) — is an obsolete trivial name, which collectors and mineral traders, miners, geologists and representatives of other applied professions actually applied to several rare ore minerals, tellurides of silver,Krivovichev V. G. Mineralogical glossary. Empressite and telluric silver are silver minerals and telluride minerals.
