"Hexagonal-rhombohedral; hemimorphic. Crystals usually prismatic, vertically striated. A triangular prism, with three faces, prominent, which with the tendency of the prism faces to be vertically striated and to round into each other gives the crystals usually a cross section like a spherical triangle." — Ford, 1912

"Hexagonal-rhombohedral; hemimorphic. Crystals usually prismatic, vertically striated. A triangular prism, with three faces, prominent, which with the tendency of the prism faces to be vertically striated and to round into each other gives the crystals usually a cross section like a spherical triangle. Crystals are commonly terminated by base and low positive and negative rhombohedrons; sometimes scalenohedrons are present. When the crystals are doubly terminated they usually show different forms at the opposite ends of the vertical axis." — Ford, 1912

This form shows a very complex combination of thirteen tetragonal forms occuring on the mineral Vesuvianite: the prism of the first order, (d); prism of the second order, (M); basal pinacoid, (s); three pyramids of the first order, (c), (b), and (u); the ditetragonal prism (f); and the four ditetragonal pyramids (z), (x), (e), and (a).

In the tetragonal system, the unit pyramid of the second order is the most common twinning plane. This is represented here as it occurs on crystals of Zircon, bounded by the forms (m), (u), (p), and (o).
