Elementar cell of Y2O3
The picture in Wikipedia doesn't give you the primitive cell. In Yttria, $\ce{Y2O3}$, 8 metal ions are in the special positions $\frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{1}{4}$; the remaining 24 metals occupy the sites $u$, $0$, $\frac{1}{4}$. The 48 oxygen ions are in general positions $x$, $y$, $z$, and are arranged in distorted octahedra around the metal ions, the metal-oxygen bonding distances being unequal. So, the stoichiometry is $\ce{Y32O48}$ which gets simplified to $\ce{Y2O3}$. This structure is generally referred to as the C-type metal oxide structure. All the sesquioxides of the rare earths belong to this system, as do $\ce{Ga2O3}$, $\ce{In2O3}$, $\ce{Tl2O3}$ and the mineral bixbyite, $\ce{(Fe, Mn)2O3}$. The primitive cell looks like this (oxygen ions are red, metal ions are gray)



Here another view which might show more easily that indeed the positions of all the 48 oxygen atoms are different in such a way that no smaller primitive cell can be found.
