What is the difference between a mineral and a crystal?
A crystal is a solid state of a mineral, the crystalline shapes formed by minerals depend upon their molecular structure. Wheras it is possible for a mineral to be liquified within molten lava for instance, it does not form back into crystals until it cools under a process known as fractional crystallisation.

How do geologists use different types of crystal shapes to classify minerals?
Minerals are classified by their geometry into six different mineral crystal systems. Each crystal system has its own set of parameters based on relationships between length and angles between a crystals axes.
Do mineral crystals tend to appear in one of the six well defined shapes?
Yes
A shiny mineral that occurs in sheets?
Minerals take many shapes and have different levels of luster. Mica is a mineral that is very shiny and occurs in sheets.
What do symmetrical crystal shapes indicate about mineral?
It indicates that it is a metallic luster
What do symmerical crystal shapes indicate about a mineral?
what ddoes the crystals shape look like
What kind of faces are found in mineral crystals?
Mineral crystal faces of varying luster and geometric shapes.
What determines a mineral's shape?
yes. each minerals atoms are arranged in a very specific order.
Can 3-shapes be symmetrical?
Yes.
Are there any symmetrical shapes in the world?
no
What shape are non symmetrical shapes?
there is a lot like irregular shapes
What do you call the group of shapes which has at least one line of symmetry?
You would call the group of shapes which has at least one line of symmetry symmetrical shapes. Stars, circles, and rectangles are considered symmetrical shapes.
What two conditions produce crystals with well-defined faces?
Beneficial to euhedral crystal shapes would be the proper temperature and length of time spent in ideal conditions for crystal formation for the particular mineral. Ideal conditions would include: space available for mineral crystal growth and availability or supply of mineral rich solutions bearing mineral components.
What is symmetrical from Harry Potter?
A snitch and the deathly hallows symbol are both symmetrical shapes.
What is symmetric multiprogramming?
Where it has to do with symmetrical shapes and there equations.
When are the symmetrical shapes polar?
When they are circumscribed by an Arctic Circle.
