Minerals are classified into various crystal systems based on the symmetry and arrangement of their crystal lattices. There are seven primary crystal systems, each defined by specific geometric parameters such as the lengths of the axes and the angles between them. Here’s an overview of the seven crystal systems: 1. **Cubic (or Isometric)**: - Axes: All three axes are of equal length and intersect at right angles (90 degrees).
