Un axe de symétrie est une ligne telle une rotation du cristal autour de cette ligne, d'un angle défini, amène une superposition complète avec la figure primitive: si la rotation est de 180 degrés, l'axe est dit d'ordre 2. Il est d'ordre 4 pour une rotation de 90 degrés, d'ordre 6 pour une rotation de 60 degrés. 2, record 1, French, - axe%20de%20sym%C3%A9trie
