HEXAGONAL CRYSTALS
HEXAGONAL
This model represents a hexagonal PRISM (the
outside hexagon - six sided shape). The top and
bottom faces are called PINACOIDS and are
perpendicular to the vertical c axis.
Within this model is the SCALENOHEDRAL
form. Each face is a scalenohedron. Calcite
often crystallizes with this form.

HEXAGONAL CRYSTALS
These hexagonal
CALCITE crystals
nicely show the six
sided prisms as well as
the basal pinacoid.

In this model the outside shape is the
PRISM. It looks like a distorted brick flattened out of shape.
Inside is the DIPYRAMID.
