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.

It has eight sides.
Graphite is an example of a hexagonal crystal. Beryl also forms a six sided crystal.Magnesium exhibits close packed hexagonal crystal structure.
Most Quartz crystals have 6 sides, But some of them have more or less. Hope that helped:)

28 sides
A crystal is a polyhedral shape. The number of faces (which means the same thing as sides) depends on the crystal.

It has eight sides.
If a mineral belongs to the hexagonal crystal group, then its crystals have six sides.
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.
Yes. A pyramid has sloping triangular sides meeting at a common vertex on top. Some naturally occurring crystal forms of pyramids have as many as 12 sides.
Because i think that this will help form the crystal by getting things off the sides and help the crystal disolve. If not i don't think it is necessary.
