Crystals come in different shapes, determined by how the molecules of compounds from which they are made can be packed together.

There are six different crystal shapes or forms determined by the axes and degree of symmetry of the crystal and the angles at which the axes intersect. Subordinate to the overall crystal shapes, many crystalline substances have within them planes of weakness along which the crystal may break these lines are related to the crystals symmetry and caused by how the molecules are aligned within the crystal. This is cleavage.
