No, they vary from crystal to crystal.

Does crystals of a mineral come always in the same size?
The crystals will always form according the geometric parameters of the mineral crystal system to which they belong, but the size of the crystals varies depending on the environment in which they form.
The size of a mineral's crystals depends on which of the following?
everything
What factor determine the size of crystals in metamorphic rocks?
Large mineral crystals that are all about the same size are formed from magma that cooled slowly inside the earth. Small mineral crystals (not identifiable without a microscope) formed from magma that cooled rapidly, on or near the surface of the earth.
As the rate of cooling increase the size of the crystals that form?
The size of the crystals that do form are smaller/microscopic in that the time an temperature for crystals to grow is cut. The type of mineral that crystallizes is also effected,
What texture is igneous?
igneous is the texture of igneous rocks. The texture of igneous rocks is defined by 3 ways: a) Crystallinity- it expresses the degree of formation of crystals in an igneous rock. the texture of an igneous rock may be Holocyrstalline (Completely characterised by crystals, Hemicrystalline (partially having crystals) and holocrystalline (no crystals). b) Granularity- it is the size of the grains. it may be equigranular (when mineral grains are equal in size) or inequigranular (when mineral grains are not equal in size). c) shape of crystals- The shape of crystals may be Euhedral (When all crystals are of same shape), Subhedral (when they are partially similar in shape), Anhedral (when they are completely different in shape).

Which is a factor that effects the size of mineral crystals formed in magma?
fluoresence is not a factor. I had this same question and i got fluorescence as a correct answer

The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and the shape of its what?
mineral crystals
Which is a factor that affects the size of a mineral crystals formed in magma?
evaporation
What determines the size of a minerals crystals?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
As the rate of cooling increase the size of the crystals that form?
The size of the crystals that do form are smaller/microscopic in that the time an temperature for crystals to grow is cut. The type of mineral that crystallizes is also effected,

What size of rock texture refers to igneous rock?
The size of the mineral crystals in an igneous rock determines the rock's texture.
What does mineral crystal size tell about how rock formed?
The size of the crystal relates to how long the crystals were forming. For example crystals that cooled slowly are larger than those cooling faster.
