https://australian.museum/learn/minerals/what-are-minerals/crystallography/Minerals can be identified by the shape of their crystals: called crystallography. External crystallography measures the outside properties of crystals such as length of crystal surfaces and the angles between these surfaces.

New Information from Old Specimens
https://australian.museum/learn/collections/natural-science/mineralogy/mineralogy-collection-new-information-from-old-specimens/In many ways the future and relevance of museum collections often depend on their past. Some specimens remain in the collections for a long time, sometimes over 100 years before they prove vital for current research projects.

Metamorphic processes
https://australian.museum/learn/minerals/shaping-earth/metamorphic-processes/Most minerals are only stable at particular temperatures and pressures, so changes in these result in the formation of new minerals.
