According to crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal structure is one of the seven network point groups. An orthorhombic lattice is obtained from stretching a cubic lattice beside two of its lattice vectors by two diverse factors.
The outcome of this is a rectangular prism which consists of a rectangular base and height. All three bases interconnect at 90 degree angles. The three networks remain equally orthogonal. There are four kinds of orthorhombic Bravais lattices they are Simple Orthorhombic, Base-centred orthorhombic, body- centred orthorhombic and face-centred orthorhombic.
The points groups which come under their crystal system along with their mineral examples are as follows: Orthorhombic bipyramidal- sulfur, olivine, aragonite, orthorhombic pyramidal- hemimorphite, bertrandite, orthorhombic sphenoidal- epsomite.
