Monoclinic System

The monoclinic system has three unequal axes. Two axes intersect at an oblique angle, while the third is perpendicular to the plane of the other two. Lattice parameters: $a \neq b \neq c$, and angles $\alpha = \gamma = 90^\circ$, $\beta \neq 90^\circ$. Examples: Gypsum, Orthoclase.
