Definition
A crystal or mineral that has the same chemical composition as another but with a different crystal structure or form.
Etymology
From Greek 'allo-' (other) + 'thio' (sulfur, though here used more broadly for substance) + 'morph' (form/shape). The term was developed by mineralogists to describe substances that are chemically identical but crystallize differently. It's closely related to the concept of polymorphism in chemistry.
Kelly Says
Allomorphs are nature's identical twins with different styles—diamond and graphite are both pure carbon but look completely different because their atoms stack in different ways! This shows that what something is made of matters way less than how it's put together.
