What is a Crystal?
From the Britannica website "crystal, any solid material in which the component atoms are arranged in a definite pattern and whose surface regularity reflects its internal symmetry."
Crystals have other names too- rocks, stones. I prefer crystals. To me, rocks are those you climb on or walk on in trails. Stones are what you see in the mountains and on trails. By Crystals, I mean the shiny or raw crystals that have elements in them that create something beautiful-
Think Tigers Eye or Amethyst.
