But all of the non-opaque pyramids are clear as well.  Colloquially,
"clear" and "transparent" are pretty much synonyms.  The
distinguishing factor of Clear pyramids from other non-opaque pyramids
is that they are colorless (achromatic).

At least that's how I was taught by my high school chemistry teacher...
