... the distance across the crystal from one side of the hexagon to the opposite side may be as large as about 1 millimeter, and the thickness perpendicular to this dimension is of the order of one-tenth as great; this crystal form is usually formed at temperatures of-10 to-20 °C by sublimation; at higher temperatures the apices of the hexagon grow out and develop dendritic forms.  2, record 1, English, - hexagonal%20platelet

Crystal Habit. The characteristic crystal shape (for example: platy, equant, granular, cubic, stubby, lath shaped, tabular, columnar, pyramidal, prismatic, blade-like, needle-like) of a mineral is its habit.  5, record 2, English, - habit

Some hematite and martite has a strong euhedral fine grained habit. The equigranular mineral habit in this type of ore usually gives well segregated silica and iron-oxide grains ...  6, record 2, English, - habit

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Examples of crystal or mineral habits are acicular(needlelike), tabular(broad and flat), fibrous(hairlike), or prismatic(elongated in one direction). Aggregates of crystals may possess the following habits : botryoidal(grapelike), dendritic(arborescent), or reniform(kidney-shaped).  7, record 2, English, - habit

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS

Many minerals may be found in more than one habit ... For example, galena may be found in euhedral crystals or in a massive/granular form, and malachite is usually botryoidal ... but may also be fibrous or stalactitic.  8, record 2, English, - habit

Certains minéraux présentent un faciès cristallographique, un «habitus» comme disent les minéralogistes anglo-saxons [...] variable suivant les conditions de genèse [...] Sans être un thermomètre géologique rigoureux, cet habitus est donc indicatif des conditions de genèse.  2, record 2, French, - habitus
