octahedral
Diamond-shaped crystal form
Octahedral describes something having eight faces, like an octahedron—a three-dimensional shape bounded by eight triangular planes.
The term appears most often in chemistry, where octahedral geometry describes molecular structures with six atoms arranged symmetrically around a central atom: The complex has an octahedral configuration.
