I'd appreciate it if people could tell me their experiences with
what I
would call "phantom crystals", or "ghost crystals". These are objects
that display the seeming morphology of crystals (clear facets, sharp
edges) but do not diffract X-rays AT ALL. I would not count objects
that diffract to 30 A in this category. I mean objects that don't
show
a single Bragg spot.
