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.
Graphite is an example of a hexagonal crystal. Beryl also forms a six sided crystal.Magnesium exhibits close packed hexagonal crystal structure.
It has eight sides.
Cubes ,Hexagonal (six-sided) prisms and irregular shape
the six main crystals are: cubic hexagonal orthcrhombic(?) monoclinic, tetragonal trilinic
Corundum ( (Al_2O_3) ) is hexagonal in crystal structure.

Yes, both diamond and graphite have a crystal structure. Diamond has a cubic crystal structure, while graphite has a hexagonal crystal structure.
Solid oxygen has a cubic crystalline structure. Solid nitrogen has a hexagonal crystalline structure.
The face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure has atoms arranged in a face-centered cubic unit cell with atoms at each corner of the cube and at the center of each face. Hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure has a hexagonal unit cell with atoms at each corner and one in the center of the top and bottom faces. In FCC, the stacking sequence is ABCABC, while in HCP, it is ABABAB.

Beryl belongs to the hexagonal crystal system.
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.
If a mineral belongs to the hexagonal crystal group, then its crystals have six sides.
They are in a repeating, geometric pattern.A crystal's ions are arranged in an orderly, repeating, geometric pattern. Here's a link:http://www.scienceclarified.com/Co-Di/Crystal.htmlthey are happyin a orderly 3-D arrangement
Beryllium's crystal structure is hexagonal.
Yes, quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, meaning that its crystal structure has six-fold symmetry.
