I clearly wrote that quartz has more than 6 facets, since a quartz crystal has a pyramidal top section of 6 sides if single terminated, and double that number if double terminated.

the faceted pyramidal structure also clearly faces the sides.

Zero, according to GK.

Answer: Two.
How many sides on this:

Exceptions prove the rule.

When we would walk up to a house an someone says this house has six sides, one would immediately assume the shape is a hexagon. No one considers the roof or floor as a 'side'
No so for a crystal, where the shape of a quartz crystal has those ideally pointed at each end, then the futed middle.
So Geoff i agree with them, your wrong on the crystal, and the house is a red herring.
Now if I lived in a red herring, where would i put my stereo?
Who is in charge of determining what the "roof" of a crystal is?
If you place a crystal on a table lengthwise, would the uppermost facet no longer count as a side because then it would be the top, like a roof, which is not a side?
Then, of course, the bottom facet would no longer be a side because who counts the bottom of a house as a side?
:)
Then, the pointy faceted sides would become actual sides....but how many sides would they count as?
You'd need a Herring aid, too.
Too much is never enough
I wonder if there would be any agrement on that.
The obvious answer is two; but geoff may say four, and you may say six.
would be right only in one case..... Unfortunately with a quartz crystal, the pyramid shaped top has 6 facets. So in terms of an Egyptian pyramid, does that mean that it has no sides as gk seems to imply?
