Triclinic system
From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min
The triclinic crystal system has three axes, all of different length and none perpendicular to the others.
Crystals are usually flattened, with sharp edges and sharp, thin cross section; no right angles on faces or edges; all forms are pinacoids (open forms made up of two parallel faces).
