galena, pyrite, fluorite, perovskite, or halite cubes
When a mineral breaks into cubes upon being struck with a rock hammer, the property being measured is its cleavage. Cleavage refers to the way a mineral breaks along specific planes of weakness, producing flat surfaces. In this case, the cubic breakage indicates that the mineral has a cubic cleavage, reflecting its internal crystalline structure.
Wall-e puts trash inside him and makes little cubes of trash. Then he piles up the cubes to make piles. He does this to create space and more room for when humans occupied the Earth.
hahaha real cute im gonna have to say the total of 50......
Galena is an interesting ore of lead (lead sulfide). It can form in isometric crystals and has perfect 4 direct cleavage forming cubes.
Calcite perhaps (although it does not form cubes).
Halite.
halite
The mineral that fits this description is pyrite. Pyrite has a metallic luster and can form cubic crystals, often mistaken for gold due to its brassy color and shiny appearance.
Minerals such as galena, pyrite, and halite can have non-metallic luster and exhibit crystal faces that resemble small cubes. These minerals can often form in cubic or octahedral crystal shapes due to their internal atomic arrangement.
The mineral you are describing is likely halite, which is commonly known as rock salt. Halite is colorless, forms cubic crystals, has a dull luster, and a hardness of 2.5 on the Mohs scale, which is softer than fluorite. Its characteristic cubic cleavage and lack of luster are key identifying features.
no
Galena, i thinx
Ice cubes are not naturally-occurring in the cube form, they are man-made. But ice itself is a mineral.
Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.
tetris! well actually, thats four. and they're squares. what do your little cubes do?
Ice cubes are not considered minerals because they do not have a crystal structure formed through geological processes. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure, which ice cubes lack as they are formed from water freezing.
