6. Iceland crystal a variety of calcarious spar, or crystalized carbonate of lime, brought from Iceland. It occurs in laminated masses, easily divisible into rhombs, and is remarkable for its double refraction.
1. The regular form which a substance tends to assume in solidifying, through the inherent power of cohesive attraction. It is bounded by plane surfaces, symmetrically arranged, and each species of crystal has fixed axial ratios. See Crystallization.

Crystal
Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
קרח. This word is translated “crystal” in Ezek. i, 22; and “frost,” Gen. xxxi, 40; Job xxxvii, 10; Jeremiah xxxvi, 30; and “ice,” Job vi, 16; xxxviii, 29; Psalm cxlvii, 17; κρυϛαλλος, Rev. iv, 6; xxii, 1. Crystal is supposed to have its name from its resemblance to ice. The Greek word, κρύϛαλλος, is formed from κρύος, _ice_, and ϛαλάσσομαι, _to concrete_. The word, זכוכית, is translated _crystal_, in Job xxviii, 17. Dr. Good observes, “We are not certain of the exact signification, farther than that it denotes some perfectly transparent and hyaline gem.”

2. Resembling crystal; pure; clear; transparent; pellucid; as a crystalline sky.
3. CRYSTALINE heavens, in ancient astronomy, two spheres imagined between the primum mobile and the firmament, in the Ptolemaic system, which supposed the heavens to be solid and only susceptible of a single motion.
4. CRYSTALINE humor, crystaline lens, a lentiform pellucid body, composed of a very white, transparent, firm substance, inclosed in a membranous capsule, and situated in a depression in the anterior part of the vitreous humor of the eye. It is somewhat convex, and serves to transmit and refract the rays of light to the vitreous humor.
That may be crystalized; that may form or be formed into crystals.
1. The act or process by which the parts of a solid body, separated by the intervention of a fluid or by fusion, again coalesce or unite, and form a solid body. If the process is slow and undisturbed, the particles assume a regular arrangement, each substance taking a determinate and regular form, according to its natural laws; but if the process is rapid or disturbed, the substance takes an irregular form. This process is the effect of refrigeration or evaporation.
2. The mass or body formed by the process of crystalizing.
1. To be converted into a crystal; to unite, as the separate particles of a substance, and form a determinate and regular solid.
2. Each species of salt crystalizes in a peculiar form.
1. To cause to form crystals.
2. Common salt is crystalized by the evaporation of sea water.
Formed into crystals.
Causing to crystalize; forming or uniting in crystals.
See Gobulin.
1. Consisting, or made, of crystal.
2. Formed by crystallization; like crystal in texture.
3. Imperfectly crystallized; as, granite is only crystalline, while quartz crystal is perfectly crystallized.
4. Fig.: Resembling crystal; pure; transparent; pellucid.
A name given to whinstone, cooled slowly after fusion.
A minute mineral form like those common in glassy volcanic rocks and some slags, not having a definite crystalline outline and not referable to any mineral species, but marking the first step in the crystallization process. According to their form crystallites are called trichites, belonites, globulites, etc.
Capable of being crystallized; that may be formed into crystals.
1. The act or process by which a substance in solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal, or becomes crystallized.
2. The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.
To be converted into a crystal; to take on a crystalline form, through the action of crystallogenic or cohesive attraction.
To cause to form crystals, or to assume the crystalline form.
