polimorphism that exists because of a difference in crystal packing is called packing polymorphism. polymorphism can also result from the existence of different conformers of the same molecule in conformational polymorphism. in pseudopolymorphism the different crystal types are the result of hydration or solvation. this is more correctly referred to as solvomorphism as different solvates have different chemical formulas. an example of an organic polymorph is glycine, which is able to form monoclinic and hexagonal crystals. silica is known to form many polymorphs, the most important of which are; α-quartz, β-quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, moganite, coesite, and stishovite. a classical example is the pair of minerals, calcite and aragonite, both forms of calcium carbonate.
