It is shown that the etch rate of lithium fluoride crystals in both a modified CP-4 etchant and a dilute aqueous solution of ferric fluoride is a function only of crystallographic orientation. This conclusion is reached by comparing experimental observations with the results of a recent topographical theory of crystal dissolution. (auth)
