All minerals can be classified into one of a variety of crystal systems.

Minerals form crystal structures.
The visible shape of a mineral's pattern is called a crystal. Solidified minerals that are from a molten state have smooth faced, angular crystals.
Arrangement of ions into a pattern in a mineral is referred to as crystal lattice structure. This structure gives minerals their characteristic geometric shape and physical properties.
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.
Three visible properties of minerals are color, luster (appearance of the surface in light), and crystal shape or habit.
Crystal shape refers to the geometric pattern that a mineral naturally forms as it grows. The shape can be influenced by various factors, including the mineral's atomic structure and external conditions during its formation. Crystal shape is used as a diagnostic tool in mineral identification because different minerals have distinct shapes.
Minerals such as galena, pyrite, and halite can have non-metallic luster and exhibit crystal faces that resemble small cubes. These minerals can often form in cubic or octahedral crystal shapes due to their internal atomic arrangement.
sorry i do not know
Cleavage is related to the minerals atomic structure because minerals are arranged in crystal lattices . It's the shape of these lattices that determine the mineral's cleavage.
