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.
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.
Cubic crystals have equal lengths on all sides and angles. Hexagonal crystals have a hexagonal cross-section and can be identified by their six-sided prisms and pyramid shapes. Orthorhombic crystals have three unequal axes at right angles to each other. Tetragonal crystals have two axes of equal length at right angles to a third axis of a different length.
Seven. They are: Cubic - all angles 90 degrees, all sides equal length Trigonal - all angles 90 degrees, two sides equal and the third unequal Orthorhombic - all angles 90 degrees, no sides equal Hexagonal - two angles 90 degrees and one angle 120 degrees, two sides unequal and the third unequal Trigonal - all angles equal but not 90, all sides equal Monoclinic - two angles 90, one more than 90, and no sides equal Triclinic - no angles equal, no sides equal For a graphical representation of these, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system#Classification_of_lattices
A beryl typically has 6 sides, known as facets, due to its hexagonal crystal structure.
If a mineral belongs to the hexagonal crystal group, then its crystals have six 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.
Most Quartz crystals have 6 sides, But some of them have more or less. Hope that helped:)

Yes, examples of cubic crystals include sodium chloride (halite), fluorite, and pyrite. These minerals have a cubic crystal structure where the crystal faces are all rectangles with equal sides.

Pyrite is a mineral that commonly forms isometric crystals. This means that it displays a cubic crystal shape with equal sides and angles.
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.
Crystals grow through the process of nucleation and solidification. Initially, individual atoms or molecules come together to form tiny crystalline structures called nuclei. As more atoms or molecules join these nuclei, the crystal grows in size. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition can influence the rate and size of crystal growth.
A crystal is a polyhedral shape. The number of faces (which means the same thing as sides) depends on the crystal.
Some crystals have 6 sides while others have 4. Some of the four sided are rhombuses
Normally crystals do not have electrical charge.A few types of crystals (e.g. quartz) will develop an electrical charge across them when placed under mechanical stress. This property is called piezoelectricity. But the positive and negative charges are on opposite sides of one crystal, not on two different crystals.Perhaps you were actually thinking of something that has nothing to do with science or electricity when you asked this question.
