This paper offers a construction that gives the limiting or ``equilibrium'' shape of an etching crystal. The conditions for hillock and pit stability and face rounding are also obtained. Experimentally, germanium cylinders with different zone axes were etched to develop ``equilibrium cross sections.'' These were in good agreement with the construction. Other uses of the construction are discussed.
