The most common mineral in our crust is quartz, a crystalline form of silicon dioxide (silica). It forms colourless hexagonal crystals when it is pure, but may be coloured by impurities. Some examples of coloured forms are rose quartz and amethyst.
Quartz is the most common crystalline mineral found on Earth. It can be colorless and transparent or have various colors due to impurities in its structure. Quartz is commonly found in a wide variety of geological settings.
Minerals form a special kind of solid called a crystalline solid. This means that the atoms within the mineral are arranged in a specific, repeating pattern that gives the mineral its unique structure and properties.
Salt and Sugar are common examples of crystalline solids. Ionic bonds in molecules generally produce crystals.
Mica is a silicate mineral that is typically found in sheet form. It is characterized by its basal cleavage, which means that it splits along well-defined structural planes. It is flaky and shiny due to its crystalline structure.
Most white sugar that you use for baking and such is the crystalline form of sucrose, which is a disaccharide.
