Where can you see natural crystals?

You can find natural crystals most anywhere in the world, depending on what kinds of crystals you want to see. Or your can visit a local natural history museum, a local meteorological exhibit.


What kind of rock formation is sometimes filled with crystals?

Geodes are rocks that are lined or filled with crystals. Pegmatites are rock formations that often exhibit extremely large crystals. Just a note--all rocks are composed of mineral crystals, with few exceptions. The crystals in some, however are just too small to see.


What Is the tendency of mineral to break into irregular pieces?

This is termed fracture, eg. the conchoidal fracture of obsidian. Breaking into pieces with straight lines and flat faces is called cleavage; minerals like calcite and fluorite exhibit excellent cleavage.

Coarse grained.


A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals what?

Foliated metamorphic rocks exhibit a layering affect with parallel layers of mineral crystals one on top of the other. A good example of this is gneiss, which has alternating layers of light and dark minerals. Foliation takes place when pressure is applied to crystals and they recrystallize or align themselves at right angles to the direction of the applied directional stress.


Which type of rock typically has the largest formed crystals?

Igneous rocks usually contain the most crystals. The longer it takes the magma to cool, the larger the crystals. According to the Earth Science Reference Tables, pegmatite contains the largest crystals.
