A crystal or three-dimensional object having axes of equal length.
From Latin 'aequi-' (equal) plus 'axis' (axis). A mineralogy and crystallography term used to describe crystal systems with equal-length axes.
Cubic crystals are equiaxe—all three axes are the same length—which is why salt crystals, diamonds, and pyrite often form perfect little cubes in nature, with beautiful symmetry from atoms repeating equally in three directions!
