Axes of symmetry have to do with a crystal's balance of shape when rotated around these imaginary axes.
Every crystal belongs to a particular crystal system (cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, trigonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic or triclinic) and the symmetry for each of these systems is defined by ideal shapes.
Following is an illustration of symmetry axes in the orthorhombic system.
When determining the axes of symmetry, it is important to rotate (or spin) the crystal around that axis through a 360° rotation and judge how many times the exact image is repeated during the rotation.

Answer:
"The match box exhibits orthorhombic geometry because in match box all the angles are same but the sides are unequal. The orthorhombic geometry has two types of structure in two dimensional shapes such as primitive rectangular and centered rectangular. ... Orthorhombic geometry is a type of crystal structure."
