Two domains of one crystal form a reflection twin when the twin operation is a reflection across a lattice plane (twin plane).

1. Rational twin mirror plane normal to an irrational line. This lattice plane is common to both twin partners.

2. Irrational twin mirror plane normal to a rational lattice row. This lattice row [uvw] is common to both twin partners.
