Viele Stoffe können in Kristallen von unterschiedlicher innerer Struktur auftreten.
Beispiele sind Kohlenstoff (Diamant, Graphit) oder Zinksulfid (Zinkblende, Wurtzit).
Diese Erscheinung heißt Polymorphie, die einzelnen "Formen" (z.B. Diamant und Graphit) heißen polymorphe Modifikationen des Stoffes.

Examples are carbon (diamond, graphite) and zinc sulphide (sphalerite, wurtzite).
This phenomenon is called polymorphism, and the individual "forms" (e.g. diamond and graphite) are called polymorphs of the substance.
