The natural shape of a mineral would be its crystalline structure.
There is no general shape of a mineral. Each mineral has its own shape, even though two different minerals might have the same shape. A few examples of shapes of minerals are: Rhomboid, rock, and cubic.

Diamond is the hardest mineral at Mohs hardness 10, ten being the hardest. There is no natural mineral substitute for processes requiring diamond. Diamond is four times as hard as corundum, the mineral constituting rubies and sapphires. Although diamond is the hardest naturally occurring mineral, it is easily fractured, a characteristic which allowed early jewellery makers to facet this crystal.
No shape is mathematical really unless it has been created by a mathematical formula, but is certainly a geometric shape. But anything which is a 2D or 3D shape is geometric. My improvement: A catenary curve from a mathematical equation such as cosh x, is a mathematical and natural shape. Maby each other arch can be approximated by a mathematical formula.

That would be it's crystalline form.
No, natural gas is not a mineral. It is an organic molecule.
From the shape of a mineral crystal, it can be classified into one of the six mineral crystal systems, which is an aid to its identification.
The shape of a mineral depends on the chemical structure that the bonds form between atoms in the mineral. A cubic mineral (such as pyrite) has a chemical structure that, as bonds are made, a cubic shape is formed.
In its natural form, argon is a gas, not a mineral!
Yes, a natural diamond is mineral. Diamonds are formed from carbon.
There is no general shape of a mineral. Each mineral has its own shape, even though two different minerals might have the same shape. A few examples of shapes of minerals are: Rhomboid, rock, and cubic.
Tipperary Natural Mineral Water was created in 1986.
