Morse functions are the basis of critical net in crystallography and this plays a vital role in crystal chemistry and crystallographic topology. Critical net is defined as mathematical mapping from Euclidean 3-space to Euclidean 1-space.

Morse didn't just revolutionize diamond cutting techniques, he also revolutionized the Brilliant design by lowering the angles of the crown and pavilion to increase brilliance.
The modern brilliant cut is the result of the work of a number of individuals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most prominently Henry Morse and Marcel Tolkowsky.
The history of the Regent Diamond stores greed, murder and remorse of several helpless lives. The 410 carat stone was found by a slave at a Golconda mine in 1698.
The adventurous history of the Regent is very much like that of several other great diamonds. Greed, murder and remorse play a part in the opening chapter. Trouble - political, social, and personal - accompanies this gem to it's last resting place.
Dionysius wept tears of wine in remorse for his action at the sight of the beautiful statue. The god's tears stained the quartz purple, creating the gem we know today.
Diana turned Amethyst into a statue of pure crystalline quartz to protect her from the brutal claws of the tigers. Bacchus wept tears of wine in remorse for his action at the sight of the beautiful statue.
The terrified girl asked to be spared the pain of the brutal claws so Diana turned her into a statue of pure crystalline quartz. At the sight, Dionysus wept tears of wine in remorse.
The train is like an intruder, its clickity clack a foreign language, tapping its message of approaching humanity like a morse code.
So venerated was this stone that men searched for it as for nothing else leaving no morsel of it unearthed. Still there are places where jade may be dug out of the rock today - but of that later.
