== == Many minerals have multiple crystal habits, which are the size and shape of a particular mineral crystals formation. Examples of crystal habit include boytroidal, stubby, blocky, radiating, wheat sheaf, columnar, acicular, foliated, subhedral, euhedral, drusy, dendritic, and bladed.
A raw diamond has these geometric characteristics: its crystal habit is octahedral, and its crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral (cubic).
Diamond molecules have a crystal habit that is octahedral and a crystal system that is Isometric-hexoctahedral (Cubic), so yes.
The crystal habit is the way a mineral grows when it is uninhibited (not interfered with with other minerals or limits on the growing space).
The structure of the carbon atoms make diamonds hard, the hardest natural mineral. Their crystal habit is octahedral and their crystal system is isometric-hexoctahedral.
