== == Many minerals have multiple crystal habits, which are the size and shape of a particular mineral crystals formation. Examples of crystal habit include boytroidal, stubby, blocky, radiating, wheat sheaf, columnar, acicular, foliated, subhedral, euhedral, drusy, dendritic, and bladed.

What mineral property observer number and angle of crystal faces?

sorry i do not know


What mineral property is determined by the number and angle of crystal faces?

I believe the answer would be the crystal system, but the crystal system is based on the angles and length of the axis of the crystal. The axis length and the angle at which they meet would affact the number and angle of the crystal faces.


What is the crystal group structure of granite?

Granite does not belong to any crystal structure group because granite is a rock, not a mineral, and only minerals can be grouped by crystal form or shape. Minerals are naturally occurring solids which form the earth and make up its rocks. Minerals develop in predictable geometric patterns called crystals. The term used to describe a crystal's general shape is habit. Some examples of crystal habit groups are cubic, prismatic, tabular, etc. Minerals are sometimes called the building blocks of rocks because rocks are usually made up of 2 or more minerals which formed together in the same space, often without enough room for recognizable crystal formation. The minerals involved and the environment they formed in will determine the type of rock they make. Granite is a rock formed underground from cooled magma (lava that never reached the earth's surface) containing the minerals quartz, feldspar, mica and others. Each individual mineral in a rock belongs to a particular crystal group, but not the rock itself.


Is naturally ocuring diamond polycrystalline?

Yes, natural diamonds are typically polycrystalline, meaning they are composed of multiple smaller crystals or grains that have grown together under high pressure and temperature conditions over millions of years. This polycrystalline structure is what gives diamonds their hardness and unique properties.

What is a tabular crystal habit?

A tabular crystal habit refers to a flat, plate-like shape exhibited by certain crystals. These crystals have two dimensions that are much larger than the third, resulting in thin, flattened shapes resembling a plate or tablet. This habit is commonly observed in minerals like mica and barite.

What is the difference between HABIT and FORM of a mineral?

The crystal habit is the way a mineral grows when it is uninhibited (not interfered with with other minerals or limits on the growing space).
