Minerals that have the same structure (isomorphic minerals) may have epitaxic relations. An example is albite  on microcline . Both these minerals are triclinic, with space group , and with similar unit cell parameters, a = 8.16 Å, b = 12.87 Å, c = 7.11 Å, α = 93.45°, β = 116.4°, γ = 90.28° for albite and a = 8.5784 Å, b = 12.96 Å, c = 7.2112 Å, α = 90.3°, β = 116.05°, γ = 89° for microcline.
