      Discrete conformal and discrete minimal surfaces are studied whose faces are planar hexagons throughout. Discrete conformal meshes are built of conformal hexagons for which the author establishes a dual construction. This dual construction is applied to conformal hexagonal meshes covering the sphere, and there are obtained discrete hexagonal minimal surfaces via a discrete analogue to the Christoffel dual construction. The smooth and the discrete settings are compared by means of limit considerations and also by a discussion of Möbius invariants.
