Quartz crystal cluster from Tibet

Crystals (from Greek: κρύσταλλος krýstallos "ice" or κρύος kryos "cold, frost"; Latin: crystallum or crystalla (pl.); Middle High German: cristalle; Old High German: cristalla; derived from Indo-European: *kreu- "to congeal", "to coagulate", especially of blood, also in the sense of "bloody", "cruel", "raw") are an anisotropic, homogeneous, polyhedral bodies with a strict inner three-dimensional spatial order. From a spiritual-scientific point of view, the crystal form is the result of earlier and present (see below) cosmic forces which come from different directions and through which the Spirits of Form, which have also given man the I, manifest themselves as creatively shaping powers.
