The crystalline structure of a mineral consist of the solid form of how atoms, molecules, or ions arranged and arranged by a regular and repetitive geometric pattern are arranged and packaged
.
Explanation:
In some rocks, especially in crystalline rocks - such as plutonites and metamorphites - minerals have crystal faces which are smooth surfaces limited by certain angles. These smooth planes often correspond to planes of their crystal lattice and therefore reflect the crystal structure of the crystal.
In a micacite of mica and garnet, for example, garnets often crystallize in their own way, he says that all the outer planes of garnets correspond to planes of his crystalline net: garnets are idiomorphic.
In a granite or a granodiorite, for example, alkaline plagioclase and feldspars are limited, limited by some planes of the glass and some irregularly shaped planes: the plagioclase and alkaline feldspars of the granites are 'hypidiomorphs'.
In other rocks, for example, in sandstones, minerals do not have faces of crystals, but do form fragments or clasts.
