Well written I must say. Makes me very curious about crystals and material physics (especially since I got interested in low level electronics and semi conductors).

Any suggestion to read ?

Not really light reading, but any good solid-state physics textbook would cover most of this. I learned from https://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Mineral-Sciences-Andre..., which is quite a bit more explicitly mineral-sciences focussed.

Aight, I'll see if I can digest it.
