pinacoid
pinacoid, pinakoid, a. and n. Cryst. (ˈpɪnəkɔɪd) [f. Gr. πίναξ, πινακ- slab: see -oid.] A. adj. Applied to any plane, in a crystallographic system, intersecting one of the axes of co-ordinates and parallel to the other two. Opposed to octahedrid and prismatoid.1895 Story-Maskelyne Crystallogr. ii. §... Oxford English Dictionary

Bournonite
The crystals are orthorhombic, and are generally tabular in habit owing to the predominance of the basal pinacoid; numerous smooth bright faces are often wikipedia.org

Metarauchite
Displays thick tabular crystals, with a prevalent pinacoid (011). Metarauchite is very brittle and shows perfect cleavage along the {011} plane. wikipedia.org

Cleavage (crystal)
The classic example of cleavage is mica, which cleaves in a single direction along the basal pinacoid, making the layers seem like pages in a book. This gives graphite a single direction of cleavage, parallel to the basal pinacoid. wikipedia.org

Cyrilovite
Crystals are squat and when single tend to lie on the basal pinacoid. The pinacoid {001} and the dipyramid {113} are the dominant forms; all the faces of these forms tend to be present and equally well developed. wikipedia.org
