Larry,
The Min Record recently (2007) published a very nice guide to Mineral
Identification by Donald Peck.  On pages 237 to 244 you will find a set of
crystal model templates that you can photocopy.  The book also is an
excellent reference and is quite reasonably priced at $35.  I recommend it
highly to anyone looking to avoid getting yet another tie or bottle of
aftershave for Christmas.

best regards,
