Possible symmetry of modes those may cause transitions in magnetic and non magnetic crystals as well as lower space subgroup symmetries of the crystals have been found. The Landau-Lifshitz theory for non magnetic crystals has been reformulated for magnetic crystals and has been applied to Ca₃Al₂(SiO₄)(Oₕ¹⁰). Some experimental data confirm our results.
