In crystallography, describing a crystal form with eight faces, combining two tetragonal shapes.
From 'di-' (two) and 'tetragonal' (from Greek 'tetragonon,' four-angled), a specialized mineralogical term for crystal geometry.
Ditetragonal crystals create some of the most beautiful minerals—the geometric symmetry can make them sparkle in eight different ways when light hits them!
