Minerals species which crystallize in the hexagonal division are apatite, beryl, and high quartz. Minerals of this division tend to produce hexagonal prisms and pyramids. Example species which crystallize in the rhombohedral division are calcite, dolomite, low quartz, and tourmaline. Such minerals tend to produce rhombohedra and triangular prisms.

What mineral appears in transparent hexagonal crystals?
Quartz can appear in transparent hexagonal crystals.
How many sides do crystals of each of the six major crystal systems have?
Cubic: crystals have 6 sides. Tetragonal: crystals have 4 sides. Orthorhombic: crystals have 3 unequal sides. Hexagonal: crystals have 6 sides. Monoclinic: crystals have 4 sides. Triclinic: crystals have no set number of sides.
What is the shape of graphite crystals?
Graphite crystals have a hexagonal shape due to the arrangement of carbon atoms in layers called graphene sheets. These sheets are stacked on top of each other, forming the distinct hexagonal shape of graphite crystals.
What shape are the crystals of beryl?
beryl frequently forms hexagonally shaped crystals
What characterizes each type of mineral crystal?
Cubic crystals have equal lengths on all sides and angles. Hexagonal crystals have a hexagonal cross-section and can be identified by their six-sided prisms and pyramid shapes. Orthorhombic crystals have three unequal axes at right angles to each other. Tetragonal crystals have two axes of equal length at right angles to a third axis of a different length.

What objects have six sides or six views?
Objects with six sides or views are known as hexagonal or cuboidal shapes. Common examples include a cube, which has six square faces, and a hexagonal prism, which features two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides. Other examples include dice, which are typically in the shape of a cube, and certain types of crystals like quartz that can form hexagonal shapes. These objects are often encountered in both natural and man-made contexts.
