A mineral specimen has very large crystals what is the best explanation for how this happend?

Large crystals in a mineral specimen typically form when the mineral has enough time and space to grow without being obstructed by nearby crystals. This often occurs in environments with slow cooling rates or low levels of impurities, allowing the crystals to grow to a considerable size.

Does crystals of a mineral come always in the same size?

The crystals will always form according the geometric parameters of the mineral crystal system to which they belong, but the size of the crystals varies depending on the environment in which they form.

Are the crystals of a mineral are always the same size?

No, the crystals of a mineral can vary in size depending on factors such as growth conditions and the speed at which the mineral forms. Crystals can range from microscopic to very large sizes, even within the same mineral species.


Metamorphic rocks composed of only one mineral that forms equidimensional crystals have what texture?

The texture of metamorphic rocks composed of only one mineral with equidimensional crystals is called a granular texture. This texture indicates that the mineral grains have crystallized under conditions where there was no preferred orientation of the crystals.
