I try to get data on the structure of beta-cristobalite, SiO2. On I find the following:
Cristobalite Downs R T, Palmer D C American Mineralogist 79 (1994) 9-14 The pressure behavior of alpha cristobalite P = room pressure _database_code_amcsd 0001629 4.9717 4.9717 6.9223 90 90 90 P4_12_12 atom x y z B(1,1) B(2,2) B(3,3) B(1,2) B(1,3) B(2,3) Si .30028 .30028 0 .0077 .0077 .00401 -.0003 .0008 -.0008 O .2392 .1044 .1787 .0244 .0086 .0062 -.0013 .0027 .0005
I have no idea what this means. I know the unit cell should have 4 Si atoms, and each should bond to 4 O atoms. What information is given from these numbers (all of them)?
What else can I help you with?

What is the crystal structure of Si2Ti?
The crystal structure of Si2Ti is cubic, with space group Pn-3m (cubic diamond structure). It consists of silicon and titanium atoms arranged in a diamond lattice with each silicon atom bonded to four titanium atoms.
If a mineralogist is in doubt about the identity of a mineral what can he or she do?
A mineralogist can perform various tests on the mineral, such as hardness, cleavage, color, streak, and specific gravity testing. They can also use specialized equipment like X-ray diffraction or spectroscopy to analyze the mineral's composition and crystal structure. Consulting with other experts or referencing mineralogy resources can also help in identifying the mineral.
