That would be it's crystalline form.
The natural shape of a mineral would be its crystalline structure.

As a natural mineral sodium chloride is called halite.
It is called synthetic as opposed to natural.
The visible shape of a mineral's atomic pattern is called its crystal form. This refers to the geometric arrangement of atoms in a mineral, which can vary depending on the type of mineral and its crystal structure.
Table salt is sodium chloride. The natural mineral is called halite.

The halide mineral group.
The shape of the crystals in a mineral sample demonstrates the mineral's internal atomic arrangement and growth conditions. Different crystal shapes, such as cubic, hexagonal, or prismatic, indicate how the mineral's atoms are organized and bonded. This crystallographic property is called the mineral's crystal habit.
