crystalline
Crystalline refers to a solid material whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. This structure gives crystals their unique shape and properties, such as hardness, transparency, or the ability to split light into different colors. Examples of crystalline substances include salt, diamond, quartz, and many types of metals.
