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:)
Faces
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.
Aquamarine crystals typically have six sides, which are known as faces. The crystal structure is based on a hexagonal symmetry, resulting in the six-sided shape.
If a mineral belongs to the hexagonal crystal group, then its crystals have six sides.
A beryl typically has 6 sides, known as facets, due to its hexagonal crystal structure.
Cubic: crystals have 6 sides. Tetragonal: crystals have 4 sides. Orthorhombic: crystals have 3 unequal sides. Hexagonal: crystals have 6 sides. Monoclinic: crystals have 4 sides. Triclinic: crystals have no set number of sides.
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.
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.
Graphite is an example of a hexagonal crystal. Beryl also forms a six sided crystal.Magnesium exhibits close packed hexagonal crystal structure.
HORSE ISLE ANSWER~ Faces
Scratching the sides of the beaker provides a rough surface for crystal molecules to attach to, promoting nucleation and crystal growth. The scratches create sites for the crystals to start forming, which helps to speed up the crystallization process and yields larger crystals.
