A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents, such as atoms, molecules or ions, are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. In addition, macroscopic single crystals are usually identifiable by their geometrical shape, consisting of flat faces with specific, characteristic orientations.

This is a nicely terminated Monazite crystal from a find in the Erongo Mtns area of Namibia.
This is a really cool looking cluster. There are 3 crystals standing together in an almost tripod-like manner, all with perfect points.
