Abstract
Charge-two SU(3) monopoles with minimal symmetry breaking can be gener ated via Nahm's equations. This paper investigates the detailed struct ure of such monopoles, through explicit calculation of the energy dens ity, and the norm and discriminant of the Higgs field. Monopoles may b e classified according to the maxima and minima of these quantities.
