The '''orthorhombic''' [[crystal system]] has three unequal [[axis|axes]], all at [[right angle]]s to one another.
[[Crystal]]s are generally short, stubby, with a [[diamond]]-shaped or [[rectangle|rectangular]] cross section; characteristic forms are four-sided [[prism]]s, [[pyramid]]s, and [[pinacoid]]s (open forms made up of two [[parallel]] faces).
