Minerals species which crystallize in the hexagonal division are apatite, beryl, and high quartz. Minerals of this division tend to produce hexagonal prisms and pyramids. Example species which crystallize in the rhombohedral division are calcite, dolomite, low quartz, and tourmaline. Such minerals tend to produce rhombohedra and triangular prisms.
