There are three types of cubic crystals:
The first is called simple cubic (sc). In this crystal, there is a particle at each corner of a cube (six particles in total). The second is face-centered cubic (fcc). In this one, there is a particle at each corner or the cube and a particle at the center of each face of the cube (14 particles in total). The last is body-centered cubic (bcc). This is just a simple cubic with a particle at the center of the cube equidistant from each face (seven particles in total).

No. Crystals, even when allowed to grow freely, take on many different forms.

A ruby is a crystal form of the mineral corundum.
Crystal form refers to the geometric shape the mineral acquires upon solidification. Cleavage is a mineral property that describes the tendency of a crystal to break along planes of weakness.
A mineral crystal. Minerals form a crystalline structure.
crystal shape
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
A tabular crystal habit refers to the appearance of a mineral crystal as a somewhat flat, tablet shaped form.

Pyrite is a mineral that can form crystals.
No. A crystal is the solid form of a mineral. Mineral crystals are present in nearly every rock, regardless of type.

All minerals have a crystal form, but not all have cleavage.
Minerals form crystal structures.

By definition, all minerals form crystals. So a crystal can be any mineral.
