Description: "...take any three edges formed by the intersection of three faces of a crystal. These axes are called the crystallographic axes, and the planes in which they lie are the axial planes. A fourth face on the crystal intersecting these three axes in the points A, B, C is taken as the parametral plan, and the lengths OA:OB:OC are the parameters of the crystal." -The Encyclopedia Britannica 1910
