Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral.

This is in the wrong section, but each mineral are different because they are made up of atoms and atoms are different from each other. Their differences come from the variability of atoms.
No atom is alike one another because they have different numbers (protons). Hydrogen is 1, Helium is 2, etc. etc. you get it. Every atom has a different chemical composition, therefore altering a mineral's physical appearance, and other characteristics.

Minerals have unique properties due to differences in their chemical composition, crystal structures, and the conditions under which they form. The arrangement of atoms within minerals significantly influences their physical characteristics. Understanding these factors helps explain the diversity of minerals we see.
