Dihedron

/daɪˈhiːdrən/ noun

Definition

A geometric solid formed by two flat faces or planes.

Etymology

Kelly Says

A dihedron is the simplest possible three-dimensional shape—just two faces meeting at an edge—yet this simple concept is fundamental to understanding crystal structures and mineral formations.
