What is a crystal?

Typically, crystals come into existence when the constituents (atoms, molecules, or ions) are in an orderly microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

Furthermore, you can distinguish single macroscopic crystals by their geometric characteristics, defined by flat faces with distinct orientations.

A crystallographic study aims to understand crystal structure and the formation of crystals. Crystallography is the science of crystals and crystal growth. A crystallographer studies crystals and crystal formation.

In Ancient Greek, a crystal was called krustallos or “ice crystal”; it is the plural of κρύος (kruos), “icy cold, frost”;

There are many types of large crystals, such as snowflakes, diamonds, and table salt.
Meanwhile, many inorganic solids found in nature are not crystals. Nevertheless, they are, instead, polycrystals. In other words, microscopic crystals fused together.

In addition to most metals, rocks, ceramics, and ice also contain polycrystals. Amorphous solids are solids with no periodicity and where the atoms have no arrangement of atoms. Amorphous solids’ properties include glass, wax, and many plastics.

Despite their names, lead crystal, crystal glass, and related products are primarily amorphous solids, not crystals.

Many pseudoscientific practices use crystals, including crystal therapy. They are occasionally associated with spellwork in Wiccan beliefs and associated religious movements, alongside gemstones.
