well technically the first diamonds were made from magma before the earth was populated with people, but now the only way to make crystals(not diamonds) is from burning graphite, which is the only other substance completely made from carbon, like diamonds. so yes technically crystals are made from magma when it is spewed up from volcanos.

No, those are igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks change due to pressure and heat, but they do not melt.

The crystallization of magma results in an igneous rock, but if the magma came from a previous igneous rock that melted, then it does make a metamorphic rock.
