Crystal form refers to the geometric shape the mineral acquires upon solidification. Cleavage is a mineral property that describes the tendency of a crystal to break along planes of weakness.

The most useful physical properties for identifying minerals are?
either color, cleavage, and crystal form or crystal form, cleavage, and streak
Which property of a mineral most directly results from the internal arrangements of its atoms?
crystal shape
Is cleavage sexy?
In one sense, cleavage is the hollow space between a woman's breasts revealed by a low neckline. Most women develop the appearance of cleavage although less endowed women can create and enhance cleavage with a variety of underwired and padded undergarments designed to push up and push together their breasts. The word "cleavage" in geology is used only to describe the morphology of fractures in minerals. Minerals have a cleavage, if they form flat, planal fractures along certain planes in their crystal lattice.

What are the 5 characteristics for a mineral?
1.Color 2.Luster 3.Crystal Shape 4.Flourscent 5.Hardness 6.Density
Does a mineral have crystal form but no cleavage?
All minerals have a crystal form, but not all have cleavage.

What is the Difference between a rock cleavage and a mineral cleavage?
The mineral cleavage is made up of many other particles to form a rock when the rock cleavage is just a rock.
Could a mineral have a crystal form but no cleavage?
Yes. Quartz can have very well-formed crystals but lacks cleavage.
What is obsidian's cleavage?
Obsidian does not have cleavage because of the way it forms. Obsidian is essentially nature's form of glass and so it has no regular or patterned crystal structure. Without that crystal structure, there is no cleavage.
Which property of a mineral most directly results from the internal arrangements of its atoms?
crystal shape
What is the name of the mark a mineral makes?
Streak. The 6 properties of minerals are streak, hardness, crystal form, color, cleavage/fracture, and luster. Hope that can answer your question:)
What are crystal form and cleavage?
Crystals come in different shapes, determined by how the molecules of compounds from which they are made can be packed together. For instance a quarts crystal is hexagonal in shape, while galena and pyrites crystals are cubic. There are six different crystal shapes or forms determined by the axes and degree of symmetry of the crystal and the angles at which the axes intersect. Subordinate to the overall crystal shapes, many crystalline substances have within them planes of weakness along which the crystal may break these lines are related to the crystals symmetry and caused by how the molecules are aligned within the crystal. This is cleavage.
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).
What is the difference between a form file object and a windows form object?
difference between a form file and a form.

What is a determinate cleavage?
Determinate cleavage is the cleavage of an egg that separates portions of the zygote for development. Cleavage is a form of cell division that increases cells without increasing mass.
