Gmelinite is generally pink and vitreous with well formed colourless hexagonal dipyramid, prism and pinacoid crystals (Fig.

The morphology consists of a hexagonal prism and basal pinacoid modified by complex terminations consisting of up to three or four hexagonal dipyramid forms.
Lustrous, orange to red-orange, simple tabular wulfenite crystals modified along the edges by a dipyramid perch on, or are partly embedded in, white to pale gray calcite, without vanadinite or other associated species (Bideaux, 1990).
The habit of the vein-type topaz as at Ouro Preto, Brazil, is characterized as being long and slender, terminated by a simple dipyramid {123}, and not at all like pegmatitic topaz.
The crystals, reaching about 2 mm long, show dipyramid faces but no prism faces.
The rare Type III crystals, simple combinations of prism and dipyramid, are small and unzoned; they range from colorless to pale yellow and brown.
Large (to well over 3 cm) discoidal crystals of translucent green carbonate-fluorapatite were found in a habit consisting of only the low-angle hexagonal dipyramid.
2]0}; one basal pinacoid, {0001}; and one dipyramid, {10[bar.
Crystal forms observed are the prism and dipyramid.
Morphologically the crystals exhibit the first-order prism {1010} and basal pinacoid {0001) with traces of the second-order prism {1120} and second-order dipyramid {1121} modifying the dominant forms.
A different, less common habit of calcite-II occurs as lustrous elongate prismatic crystals modified by a well-defined pinacoid and usually also the rare hexagonal dipyramid {7.
