The orthorhombic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems recognized in crystallography. The cited article explains that orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base and a height, such that the three edge lengths are distinct. All three bases intersect at ninety degree angles, so the three lattice vectors remain mutually orthogonal. Materials whose crystals belong to this system are grouped under this concept.

Entity-backed identity for the crystal system this mineral already carries as an enum fact, phase 3 bucket conversion (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, w-bucketconv-divmore2-0929). The original fact stays on the entry unchanged.

Entity-backed identity for the crystal-system enum value this material already carries, resolved to an earth concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The crystal-system fact itself stays on the material unchanged.
