The monoclinic system is the largest symmetry system with almost a third of all minerals belonging to one of its three classes. This system contains two non-equal axes (a and b) that are perpendicular to each other and a third axis (c) that is inclined with respect to the a axis.

Any mineral that falls under the following specifications belongs to the monoclinic crystal system: Three axes, all of them are unequal in length. Two of them are at right angles to each other, while the third is lies at an angle other than 90°. (See Crystals in mineral properties for more information...

Part 7: The Monoclinic System ... Having dispensed with the hexagonal system in article 6, we are ready to resume our task of the removal of symmetry from 3-axis systems. Consider the axial cross, consisting of the a, b, and c axes (each of unequal length), of the Monoclinic System (fig.

Description: "The symmetry of the Monoclinic System is as follows: The crystallographic axis b is an axis of binary symmetry and the plane of the a and c axes is a plane of symmetry." — Ford, 1912; Source: William E. Ford Dana's Manual of Mineralogy (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc, 1912)51;
