B Rhombohedral division The groups which come under this division differ from the hexagonal forms hitherto discussed in the essential feature of a vertical axis of trigonal symmetry which gives to the Termina- tion of rhombohedral crystals a trigonal as dis- tinct from a hexagonal aspect. Compare fig. 104, which shows a termination of a rhombo- hedral crystal, with the hexagonal terminations shown in fig. 91 and 101. Compare also model 8 with model 7. Rhombohedral group Forms in this group are characterized by a vertical axis of trigonal symmetry and three horizontal axes <»f binary sym- metry, these ;ix«-s being identical with the crystallographic axes. They are also symmetric to ihr<-<- planes which interseel in the vertical axis ;is shown in ti^.
