What is it about?
The Knowledge Visualization framework aims to understand, interpret, create and share information. This paper explores the geometry of a mineral, develop a mathematically coherent visualization to be shared with a scientific and non scientific audience.

Why is it important?
It opens a larger debate on cross-pollination between Science, Humanities, and the Arts. Additionally, the experiment provides new ground of investigation for unexpected connections between mathematics, earth sciences, and local cultures.
Perspectives
History is replete with examples of scientists being inspired by art under its many forms of expression. Computer technology provides artists with the mean to develop a closer and more fruitful collaboration with Science. Knowledge Visualization framework is a sound template for all to understand, create and share visually relevant information.
