_twin_dimensionality
Name:'_twin_dimensionality'
Definition:
The degree of overlap between the twin lattices. Most twin lattice symmetry (TLS) and twin lattice quasi-symmetry (TLQS) twins as defined by Donnay and Donnay will be triperiodic. Reference: Donnay, G. & Donnay, J. D. H. (1974). Can. Mineral. 12, 422-425.
