7. This holds if the crystal structure is orthorhombic and the sample edges are aligned with the twofold axes (see Ref.). It also holds if the crystal is monoclinic and either the twofold axis is aligned with one in-plane sample edge or the mirror plane is both perpendicular to the sample plane and aligned with one sample edge; for a general discussion see A. S. Nowick, Crystal Properties Via Group Theory (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1995).
