So it always boils down to minerals in water sedimenting
But I still dont understand how do they end up forming those crystal shapes, I mean I get it that at a molecular level they look like regular polygons but is that all?

All boils down to the shape of the molecule that's crystallizing and temperature conditions, same thing happens with things as simple as water in the upper atmosphere to make snowflakes.
