This means that the material in question (in this case a mineral) is composed of atoms or molecules that are arranged in an orderly pattern in three dimensions.

What does Tin Cut Crystals mean?
General reference points to RC Rosary Beads with Glass Crystals.
Are ice crystals example of freezing?
It depends. If the ice crystals are forming, then yes, the water is freezing. If you just mean ice crystals, just there not doing anything, then no.
What do small crystals in an igneous rock mean?
The size of the crystals in an igneous rock tells us how fast the magma cooled.
What are some minerals in silicates?
silicates are minerals so perhaps you mean what elements are in silicates? , OR are you asking what are some silicate minerals?
What does the first statement of the cell theory mean?
All living things are made of cells. meaning that every living things has cells no matter what.
What does apatite mean?
Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals. These minerals are made of hydroxylapatite.
All salts can form crystals?
Not all salts, particularly complex ones, form crystals easily. We have no idea how to form crystals of many salts, but that does not mean they cannot be made, merely that no one knows how to do this.
What minerals are in asphalt?
There aren't any minerals. I mean, there might be a faint little small bit of some minerals in it, but asphalt isn't made from minerals like a lot of other things.
What does move to strike mean?
He is asking the judge to have the previous statement made to be removed from the record and have the jury disregard the last statement.
Are quartz crystals still growing?
It depends on what you mean. Are there quartz crystals on earth that are growing today? Yes. Is that quartz crystal in your rock collection still growing? No. Quartz crystals often form when water with super concentrated silica in it comes into contact with a surface (such as a very small crystal) onto which the silica can precipitate. Crystals also form when magma/lava cools and the different elements in the mixture differentiate into various minerals.
How big are the particles in metamorphic rock compared to those in sedimentary rock?
If by particles you mean the size of the crystals, then the crystals in metamorphic rock are often larger than in the sedimentary rock. High heat and pressure can cause the minerals to recrystallize. This would be the case in the metamorphosis of limestone (sedimentary) to marble (metamorphic).
What is the difference between crystal and grain?
When grains are crystallized they form crystals. We refer crystals as grains because they are basically CRYSTALLIZED grains but they are different in a way because during the formation of crystals the process of crystallization occurs which involves a chemical change and remember chemical change gives a substance new properties so crystals have new properties however its very much like a grain sharing similar properties and the origin of a crystal is a grain. For example a steak is made from chicken though it physically looks different but it is still made from chicken! but has little different properties so we call steak chicken but has different properties even then you wont separate steak from the chicken's category. so you cant separate crystals from grain's category.When you will say grains you will mean simply that minerals joined to make bits called grains and when you say crystals you will mean crystallized grains!
What does spattering of crystals mean?

What does uttering forged bill mean?

What does a mineral mean?
Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. They are non-living, solid, and, like all matter, are made of atoms of elements. There are many different types of minerals and each type is made of particular groups of atoms. Different types of minerals have different crystal shapes.
Do crystals grow taller in the dark or the light?
Depends upon what type of mineral is crystallizing. For some types of minerals (aragonite in particular), their growth is mediated by photosynthetic algae. Obviously, they would grow faster when exposed to light. Otherwise, the algae die and the crystals are left to grow inorganically, which may mean not at all.
