context_page_description: An Octahedron is a polyhedron made of eight faces. in the case of the regular octahedron, these faces are triangles. The ocahedron looks like two pyramids, which share the same base.
  In chemistry, octahedra are common: diamonds and fluorite are examples of crystals that are octahedra.
