Diamond crystals are cubic, and are based on what is called a face centered cubic structure. Each carbon atom is linked to four other carbon atoms in a cube. If you can picture a cube with its six faces, there is a carbon atom at each corner. Additionally, there is a carbon atom in the middle of each square face that is bound to each atom at the corner of the square. Links can be found below for more information.
What else can I help you with?
Is sapphire foliated?
No, sapphire is not foliated. Sapphire is a crystalline form of corundum and typically occurs in a hexagonal crystal structure. Foliation is a feature of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers, which is not characteristic of sapphire's formation or structure.
Is sapphire a metal?
No, it is a crystal.
Dose malachite have a crystal structure?
Yes, the mineral malachite does have a crystal structure.
What is the crystal shape of a sappire?
Sapphire typically crystallizes in the hexagonal system, forming prismatic crystals with a characteristic six-sided shape. The most common form is the elongated hexagonal prism, often exhibiting a bipyramidal termination at one or both ends. This crystal structure contributes to sapphire's well-known hardness and durability.
What is the crystal structure of phosphorous?
The crystal structure of phosphorous is monoclinic.

Is sapphire a metal?
No, it is a crystal.
Can you trade from Pokemon Crystal to sapphire?
I hear you can trade from crystal to sapphire. You have to have two gameboy advances, a gba link cable, and in crystal you have to go to the time machine.
What is the crystal structure for silver?
There is no crystal structure.
Is sapphire a rock?
no it is not because it is a crystal. It is a mineral.
Dose malachite have a crystal structure?
Yes, the mineral malachite does have a crystal structure.
Does a BUREI watch have a sapphire crystal lens?
I learned a way to identify a sapphire crystal lens. When you put a drop of water on the watch lens, the water will not disperse.
What is the crystal structure of beryllium?
Beryllium's crystal structure is hexagonal.
What is the crystal structure of phosphorous?
The crystal structure of phosphorous is monoclinic.
What is the crystal structure of fermium?
The crystal structure of fermium was not determined.
