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.
Graphite is in sheets... And is quite slippery.
Yes, pencil lead is made of graphite, which consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a crystalline structure. However, the individual crystals in graphite are not visible to the naked eye due to the layered structure of the material.
Borax forms crystals with a Monoclinic Prismatic structure.
Most minerals have one crystal shape each, but that shape may be different for a different mineral. However there are a few substances which form different shapes of crystal under different conditions. This is called polymorphism, or allotropy if the substance is an element. For instance carbon can form graphite or diamond.
Calcite commonly forms rhombohedral crystals. These crystals have a shape resembling a slanted cube with parallelogram faces.

crystals are blank that have had a chance to grow and take shape.
Crystals do not give energy!

Yes, they can "grow".
It is smooth. Graphite is made up of crystals. It will have angles.
A2. Graphite is an allotrope of Carbon, and has a crystal form of regular hexagons arranged in a two dimensional sheet.A1. no because it is a rock that has been thinned to be made into our led that we use to write
The most probable explanation is the specific structure of grouped crystals - a lamellar type.
No The cast is made out of fiber glass and the cast would form into crystals.
