Yes. Diamond is isometric, graphite is hexagonal.


What has a hexagonal crystal shape?

Beryllium, quartz, and graphite are examples of minerals that can form hexagonal crystal shapes. In particular, quartz is well-known for its hexagonal prism form, while graphite exhibits a layered hexagonal structure. These hexagonal arrangements are a result of the specific atomic bonding and lattice structure of the minerals.

What is the principle of the electron diffractionof graphite?

The principle of electron diffraction of graphite involves using a beam of electrons to interact with the crystal lattice of graphite. When the electrons hit the lattice, they diffract, producing a pattern that can be used to determine the crystal structure of graphite. By analyzing the diffraction pattern, information about the arrangement of carbon atoms in the graphite crystal lattice can be obtained.

Why are diamonds made from graphite not a mineral?

By definition, a mineral must form by natural processes. So anything man-made, even if it is chemically an structurally identical to a mineral, is not a mineral. However, natural diamond is formed from graphite as well.
