crystals

Crystals are solid materials whose atoms are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern. This structure gives crystals their unique shapes and properties, such as their ability to reflect light and create distinct colors. Common examples include table salt, diamonds, and quartz. Crystals form in nature through processes like cooling of molten rock or evaporation of water. They are also used in various applications, from electronics and watches to jewelry and healing practices, due to their physical and aesthetic qualities.
