∙ 13y agoSeveral factors affect the size of mineral crystals during their formation. They are as follows:
- The availability of material available for crystal growth. If a limited amount of material (atoms of elements necessary for a particular mineral) exists, the creation of the crystals will be short-lived.
- The time spent at the optimum temperature and pressure for crystal formation. The longer the time the material remains at the mineral's specific range of optimal conditions, the larger the crystals may form.
- Space available for crystal formation. If other minerals have already formed crystals, the remaining fluids from which crystals form will have to fit in any remaining spaces, or move to another location.

What are six properties of minerals used to tell them apart from another?
Hardness, specific gravity, cleavage, chemistry, crystallography, color.
How do you identify minerals with your naked eyes?
by simply testing the streak of the mineral. all minerals have a different streak take a streak plate and scrape the rock down it in a straight line and the color should tell you what mineral it is :) that's the best way.

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.
What can minerals tell you about a rock?
Its age, how it was formed, and where it was formed
What does crystal size tell us about the formation of the minral?
Whether it was fast crystallization - smaller Crystals or slow crystallization - bigger and finer Crystal forms!

How do you tell if necklace is crystal?
I can't tell if you mean "crystal" as in "made of a crystalline material" or "crystal" as in "made of lead crystal, which is not technically a crystal at all". Take it to a jeweler. There's not any simple foolproof way a layman could tell.
How can you tell if a crystal is a diamond?
Take your crystal to a local jeweler who can use a probe to help you determine whether or not your crystal is a diamond.

It distinguishes calciferous minerals from other minerals.

How would you use crystal structure to tell a crystal of pyrite from a crystal of gypsum?
A pyrite is a cubic solid and a gypsum is a monoclinic solid.
How do I tell if a bowl made in France marked with the number 8 is glass or crystal?
Crystal is a type of glass. It contains lead oxide whereas cheap glass does not. This makes it rather heavier than cheap glass, size for size. It also looks 'sparkly'. The number 8 is used in various ways by many manufacturers.
Will crystal say crystal on it?
Most of the time it will. Good crystal always will. You can tell crystal from glass by lightly tapping the side of the glass, vase, or item. When you do this you will get a ringing sound from crystal and a "thump" sound from glass.
