Most minerals occur naturally as crystals. A crystal is a three-dimensional structure whose shape depends on how its atoms combine. When minerals crystallize in an environment without interference, they develop into shapes we recognize as polyhedra. Research the following shape classifications of crystals: cubic, tetragonal, orlhorhombic, hexagonal, trigonal, and monoclinic. For each, describe the shapes of the faces, verify that Euler’s formula holds, and list three examples of crystals of that type.
