Mineral crystals are divided into six distinct mineral crystal systems based on geometry and angles between axes. Crystals can further be subdivided into categories of 'habit', the crystals' variety of appearances in nature. Examples of habit are boytroidal, globular, massive, euhedral, drusy, acicular, and so on.
they are classified as crystalline.
Crystals are solid materials whose atoms are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern. While many crystals are minerals, not all crystals qualify as minerals; for a substance to be classified as a mineral, it must be naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, and have a defined chemical composition. Examples of mineral crystals include quartz and feldspar, while synthetic crystals, like those created in labs, do not meet the criteria for being classified as minerals.
Most minerals form crystals.

Crystals of minerals are classified based on their chemical composition and internal structure. The arrangement of atoms in a crystal determines its shape and properties. Common classifications include cubic, hexagonal, and monoclinic structures.
A mineral is a natural solid substance made of crystals that have a repeating pattern of atoms. Minerals are classified based on their chemical composition and crystal structure. Examples of minerals include quartz, diamond, and feldspar.
Rocks with visible crystals are classified as crystalline rocks. These rocks are formed when minerals inside the rock crystallize and grow to a size that they are visible to the naked eye. Examples include granite and basalt.
No, but stones and crystals are both minerals.
no
you can see the different bits and pieces of the rock
Minerals
Minerals, although they can "grow" as crystals, are not alive and are therefore classified as inorganic matter.To be classified as a mineral, a substance must be a solid, have a crystalline structure, be inorganic, be naturally occuring, and have a very specific range of chemical formulae.
