..bonds made by the chemicals it is composed of. For example, diamonds are so hard and have a very cool natural shape because the chemical that makes up diamonds (Carbon) has formed into a particular pattern. All chemicals, because of their polarity caused by the number of electrons they have, form a different shape when they bond with each other.

Each mineral has a unique crystal shape due to its specific atomic arrangement and bonding characteristics. The internal arrangement of atoms within a mineral determines its external crystal shape as the atoms naturally arrange themselves in a repeating pattern to form geometric shapes. This unique crystal shape is a result of the mineral's internal structure and growth conditions during its formation.
