What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.
Does each mineral have its own properties?
The properties are affected by its chemical composition, method of formation, crystal latticework, and environment surrounding its formation.
Can geodes have water in them?
Crystal formation in geodes is dependent on mineral rich water. So the is "yes".
What action would lead to a crystal formation in a mineral?
The atoms or molecules form repeating patterns.
What two conditions produce crystals with well-defined faces?
Beneficial to euhedral crystal shapes would be the proper temperature and length of time spent in ideal conditions for crystal formation for the particular mineral. Ideal conditions would include: space available for mineral crystal growth and availability or supply of mineral rich solutions bearing mineral components.
Are geology and crystallography closely related?
Crystallography is the study of mineral crystal systems and crystal formation, the structures which comprise minerals and combinations of which make up rock, which is of supreme interest to geologists.
Is a crystal a mineral or a rock?
mineral
Is crystal systems a part of the 7 properties of a mineral?
Yes, the crystal system a mineral belongs to is a property of a mineral.
What mineral has an isometric crystal shape?
Diamond is one mineral in the isometric crystal system.
Is quarts crystal a rock or a mineral?

Is diamond a crystal?
A mineral crystal is not necessarily a diamond, but a diamond is a mineral crystal. All minerals, such as diamond, have crystalline structures.
What is a crystal mineral?
A crystal mineral is a solid composed of material extending in all spatial dimensions.
