However, the rhombohedral axes are often shown (for the rhombohedral lattice) in textbooks because this cell reveals the 3 m symmetry of the crystal lattice. The rhombohedral unit cell for the hexagonal Bravais lattice is the D-centered [ 1 ] cell, consisting of two additional lattice points which occupy one body diagonal of the unit cell with ...
Crystals can be classified in three ways: lattice systems, crystal systems and crystal families. The various classifications are often confused: in particular the trigonal crystal system is often confused with the rhombohedral lattice system, and the term "crystal system" is sometimes used to mean "lattice system" or "crystal family".
In monoclinic, trigonal, tetragonal, and hexagonal systems there is one unique axis (sometimes called the principal axis) which has higher rotational symmetry than the other two axes. The basal plane is the plane perpendicular to the principal axis in these crystal systems.
Rhombohedral: R 3 m (No. 166) 105 (rh.) 315 (hex.) Partly due to its complexity, whether this structure is the ground state of Boron has not been fully settled. α-As: A7: Rhombohedral: R 3 m (No. 166) 2 (rh.) 6 (hex.) in grey metallic form, each As atom has 3 neighbours in the same sheet at 251.7pm; 3 in adjacent sheet at 312.0 pm.

Well known crystalline forms are α-rhombohedral (α-R), β-rhombohedral (β-R), and β-tetragonal (β-T). In special circumstances, boron can also be synthesized in the form of its α-tetragonal (α-T) and γ-orthorhombic (γ) allotropes. Two amorphous forms, one a finely divided powder and the other a glassy solid, are also known.
The crystal system of rhodochrosite is trigonal, with a structure and cleavage in the carbonate rhombohedral system. The carbonate ions ( CO 2− 3 ) are arranged in a triangular planar configuration, and the manganese ions (Mn 2+ ) are surrounded by six oxygen ions in an octahedral arrangement.
