Explanation:
Mineral crystals form in many different shapes and sizes.
A mineral is made up of atoms and molecules. As the atoms and molecules combine, they form a particular pattern. This pattern continues to grow as the mineral develops. The final shape of the mineral reflects the original atomic shape. In the same way, the square shape of a house reflects the square shape of the individual bricks. The mineral shape that is formed is called a crystal.
