Most Quartz crystals have 6 sides, But some of them have more or less. Hope that helped:)
The number of sides a crystal has depends what minerals or elements make up the crystal. A cubic crystal has 6 sides. A hexagonal crystal with flat ends has 8. A hexagonal crystal with pointed ends has 18.

A regular hexagon ... or for that matter, any hexagon ... always has 6 sides.
6 sides.
a hexagon has 6 sides (I always remembered hex vaguely resembles six), and a pentagon has 5 sides. So a hexagon has 1 more side than a pentagon.
6 sided with a square figure
It depends on the gem all gems are diffrent18 i thinkAmethyst is the violet variety of quartz; its chemical formula is SiO2.The crystaline form is rhombohedralThe rhombohedral system can be thought of as the cubic system stretched along a body diagonal. a = b = c; α = β = γ ≠90°.There are six sides to a pure simple crystal.
28 sides

No it always has exactly 6 sides
No because a rhombus has 4 sides whereas an hexagon has 6 sides.
Quartz can be identified by: 1. Luster: nonmetallic 2. Hardness: 7 3. Streak: white 4. Color: usually colorless, white or gray but can be varieties of all colors 5. Cleavage: none 6. Crystal habit: hexagonal prisms and pyramids 7. Specific Gravity: 2.6-2.7
Quartz
A 6 sided crystal
A mineral is always made up of crystals, but if the crystals are very small the mineral will not appear crystalline to the naked eye. A good example of this is quartz. Almost everyone is familiar with the colorless, transparent, 6 sided quartz crystal. But quartz also forms veins inside other rocks which don't appear crystalline at all. The quartz in the vein is still crystalline, it is just that the crystals are very, very small, because they formed too quickly to grow large enough to be visible to the naked eye.
6 because remember hex and six it always works
