Parallelepipedon

by STEAM3D

Description

A parallelepipedon (6-faced form) exhibits several symmetry elements, including a center of symmetry, a single mirror plane, and one 2-fold rotation axis. The mirror plane and the 2-fold rotation axis are perpendicular to each other and align along the crystallographic axes a and b. The mirror plane and rotation axis intersect at the center of the crystal, which is also the location of the center of symmetry. The parallelepipedon is a characteristic crystal form within the monoclinic crystal system.
