What property causes the mineral galena to break into tiny cubes?
The property of cleavage.
What does halite cleavage look like?
Halite has perfect cleavage in 3 planes or axes at right angles, meaning halite often forms nearly perfect cubes.
What causes mineral galena to break into tiny cubes?
The internal arrangement of its atoms
What minerals has non-metallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
halite
A large piece of mineral halite is broken repeatedly into perfect cubes how can this be explained?
Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions and is in the cubic crystal system.
What property causes the mineral galena to break into tiny cubes?
The property of cleavage.
Is halite hexagonal?
Halite forms cubes. It has excellent cleavage in 3 directions, which is why it breaks into cubes.
What mineral has a nonmetallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
galena, pyrite, fluorite, perovskite, or halite cubes

halite
What minerals has non-metallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
halite
Which of the mineral has non-metalic luster and can have the shape of the little cubes?
Halite.
A large piece of mineral halite is broken repeatedly into perfect cubes how can this be explained?
Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions and is in the cubic crystal system.
Which of the minerals listed below has non-metallic luster and can have the shape of little cubes?
Halite.
What mineral has cubic cleavage?
An example of rhombic cleavage would be siderite and rhodochrosite. Remember that this is basically a "partically squashed box." Essentially, the direction of deformation in a rhombohedron occurs in one of the three diagonals that run from one corner of the cube to the other. Calcite is not a particularly fabulous example of a rhombohedron, because it is considered to be cubed.
What crystal system do halite crystals belong to?
The crystal system that halite crystals belong to is the Isometrics-Hexoctahedral system. One common use of halite is table salt.
