In crystallography, the terms crystal system, crystal family, and lattice system each refer to one ... In total there are seven crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, ..... A polar crystal possess a "unique" axis (found in no other directions) such ... lattices in three dimensions; each can apply in one lattice system only.
