etch figures
etch figures (etch marks) Pits (etchings), regular in shape, which may develop in certain directions consistent with the orientation of the symmetry elements for the crystal as a whole when crystal faces are treated with suitable chemical reagents. These etch figures may therefore be used to assign crystals to their appropriate crystal systems.
