Quartz, which consists of silicon dioxide.
Quartz
When it solidifies into crystalline form (ice).
Opal is an amorphous form of silica related to quartz, a mineraloid form, not a mineral. A mineraloid is a mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity.Now you get it?
Size and shape are descriptors of the physical attributes. Others would include colour, lustre, and opacity.
A mineral, by definition is an inorganic solid with a crystalline structure formed naturally. Wood, paper, or any other organic solids are not minerals because they have no crystalline structure and form organically. Plastic is not a mineral either because it is made synthetically out of organic materials. Some organic materials like coal and other hydrocarbons are considered minerals economically. Bones and teeth contain hydoxylapatite that is organically formed but is still considered a mineral, so there are exceptions. Whewellite is organically formed but has a crystalline structure, and is considered a mineral.

When you mix two different solutions. You get crystalline solution.

Quartz
All minerals occur in crystalline form. It's a part of the definition of a mineral.
That would be it's crystalline form.
Graphite, which is a form of crystalline carbon.
it is called the quat
No, diamond is the hardest known mineral, an allotrope of carbon, with a strong crystalline structure.
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.
