Wenn die Körner plattenförmige (laminae) Gestalt haben, so bezeichnet man diese Aggregate, je nach Größe, als schuppig oder blättrig (lamellar). Die individuellen Platten sind im Allgemeinen parallel, können aber auch um ein gemeinsames Zentrum gebogen sein und konzentrische Formen bilden. Wenn die Platten dünn und trennbar sind, bezeichnet man die Aggregate als blättrig oder schieferig. Wenn ein Mineral aus kleinen Schuppen besteht, wird es als glimmerartig bezeichnet.
