Une macle est un cristal complexe, semblant formé de deux cristaux jumeaux ou de deux demi-cristaux juxtaposés suivant une loi définie et non d'une façon accidentelle. Le plus souvent, ces deux cristaux élémentaires sont accolés suivant une face plane (face d'association), ayant la même notation pour les deux individus maclés, et l'un deux se trouve placé par rapport à l'autre dans la situation qu'on obtiendrait en faisant tourner celui-ci d'un angle déterminé autour d'un axe, dit «axe d'hémitropie». 3, record 1, French, - axe%20d%27h%C3%A9mitropie
