Hexagonal vs. Rhombohedral — What's the Difference?

Having six sides.

Of or relating to a rhombohedron.

Containing a hexagon or shaped like one.

(Mineralogy) Of or relating to a crystal having three axes of equal length intersecting at oblique angles.

(Mineralogy) Having three equal axes intersecting at angles of 60° in one plane and one axis of variable length that is perpendicular to the others.

(crystallography) Having three equal axes and oblique angles.

(geometry) Having six edges, or having a cross-section in the form of a hexagon.

Related to the rhombohedron; presenting the form of a rhombohedron, or a form derivable from a rhombohedron; relating to a system of forms including the rhombohedron and scalenohedron.

(crystallography) Having three equal axes which cross at 60° angles, and an unequal axis which crosses the others at 90° angle.

Having three-fold symmetry
