Crystal is quartz that is almost transparent. Describing a snow flake or a salt grain as crystal would be a fair description.

Other way round. Quartz is crystalline - so indeed are snow-flakes (crystals of ice) and salt grains. Pure quartz is transparent but minute traces of mineral impurities usually give it some colour and/or reduce its transparency.
