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.
