The Crystalline State • All true solids are crystals.
Crystals • A crystal is a lattice structure formed by a repeating, three-dimensional pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules.
Amorphous Solids • An amorphous solid lacks an orderly repeating lattice structure.
Obsidian is a volcanic glass, meaning that the minerals from which it formed did not have time to crystallize due to rapid cooling.

Types of Crystals • The type of crystal is determined by the particles and attractive forces that make it up.
Types of Crystals • Molecular Crystals • Ionic Crystals • Metallic Crystals • Network Crystals
Ulexite “The TV Stone” • When viewed parallel to the fibers, Ulexite transmits light in a similar fashion to fiber optics. It is this property that has given rise to it nickname of "TV" stone.
