René Just Haüy (1743 - 1822) the ‘Father of Modern Crystallography’ said that a crystal can be considered as the result of some changes to a primitive rectangular shapes by truncate the corners or edges. For example, it is considered that an octahedra can be obtained by truncating the eight corners of a cube. Truncation is the removal of portions of solids falling outside a set of symmetrically placed planes.
