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.

Is the crystals in each mineral are the same shape true or false?

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.
