Mr Andricless
one you dont know - say i dont know:

crystals do not have 'faces'!!
they have only jionts
the faces that afre covering those joints
ARE IMMAGINARY !!!

now-- no rolling blades ans no shmoling ones
nothing is rotating there
if it was rotating you would be a big mesh potato .

the electron does not rotale or orbit all around the nuc
just atick it once and for all into yuour head .
th emost they move in a latice is sort of vibration
if you like - like a held string
( nad th eelectron is not a point particle )
