  • Crystals in Everyday Life: 5 Unexpected Examples
    Here are five things made of crystals:

    1. Salt - Table salt is a crystal made of sodium chloride.

    2. Quartz Watches - Quartz crystals are used in watches to regulate timekeeping due to their piezoelectric properties (they generate electricity when compressed).

    3. Diamonds - Diamonds are the crystalline form of pure carbon.

    4. Glass - While glass is often called an amorphous solid, it actually has a crystalline structure at the atomic level.

    5. Sugar - Table sugar (sucrose) forms crystals when it is processed.
