Crystal

By:RMM

      Crystal is a mineral that has an orderly structure and an outward form with a smooth surface. The crystal is symmetrically arranged and in different types such as: glass, snow, and sugar. Crystals are produced whenever a solid is formed gradually from a fluid, whether the formation results from the freezing of a liquid, the deposition of dissolved matter, or the direct condensation of a gas into a solid form.
