Description

An tetragonal crystal system is described by three perpendicular axes (intersect at 90° – angles α, β, γ), where two axes are equal in their lengths (a₁, a₂ – square base) and the vertical axis (c) is longer. Mineral examples include e.g., .chalcopyrite, cassiterite, rutile, zircon and apophyllite
