Orthorhombic System

From Conservapedia

The orthorhombic crystal system has three unequal axes, all at right angles to one another.

Crystals are generally short, stubby, with a diamond-shaped or rectangular cross section; characteristic forms are four-sided prisms, pyramids, and pinacoids (open forms made up of two parallel faces).
