👉 Hexoctahedral is a term used in crystallography to describe a particular type of cubic crystal structure. It is also known as a hexagonal prism, and it is often referred to as the "hexagonal prism" because it has six faces that are all equilateral triangles, with each face being composed of two pairs of opposite sides of equal length. The term comes from the fact that each vertex of this hexoctahedral structure contains eight vertices, which means that there are
