How Crystals are made.

Crystals are solids which are molecules (or atoms) They are arranged from something called a crystal structure. A crystal structure is an unending pattern. Crystals are formed by something called crystallisation. Crystallisation is when a natural process that happens when materials solidify from liquids. This happens from something like a temperature  change or chemical change. 

The price of crystals.

Many different crystals have different prices it can go from a diamond and emerald in hundreds of thousands of dollars to clear quartz which is around 20 dollars. The more expensive crystals are harder to find. For diamonds, miners or geologists would go to a diamond mine because diamond mines would usually have more diamonds in it. Different sizes of crystals can also change the price by a lot. Here is a picture of emerald.
