It could be minutes or hundreds of thousands of years depending on the size of the crystal and the method of formation.

Why do some igneous rocks have big crystals or grains and some igneous rocks have small crystals or grains?
how long they stayed in the volcano; how much time the crystals had to form
Which Is what allows large crystals to form?
When magma coos slowly, it allows large crystals to form. The process of evaporation helps to form crystals.
What determines the size of crystals that form in granite?
The cooling rate of magma plays a significant role in determining the size of crystals.
Do salt crystals form faster than borax crystals?
Well it depends. But im currently growing salt, suagr and borax crystals and my borax crystals formed first. So i guess my answer is No, borax crystals grow faster but dont take my answer as a fact i could be wrong.
What factors affect the size of the crystals that form as magma cools?
it depends on how long is ban under the ground
How long does it take large silicon crystals to form?
millons of years
How long does it take for salt crystals to form?
It takes 2 to 5days
How long does it take for crystals to form when water evaporates?
This depends on many factors.
How long do crystals from crystal making kits take to form?
It takes about two to four weeks
Do salt crystals take longer to form than sugar crystals?
salt has stronger and more quality than suger crystals
Minerals of this family tend to form long needlelike crystals?
amphiboles
Are crystals old?
Most are because they take millons of years to form
Can salts form crystals?
Yes. Salts can form crystals (salt crystals).
How long does it take for suagr crystals to grow?
it could take days to weeks
How long does it take to grow copper sulphate crystals?
It can take a couple of days.
Why do some igneous rocks have big crystals or grains and some igneous rocks have small crystals or grains?
how long they stayed in the volcano; how much time the crystals had to form
Why do Minerals in geodes form spectacular euhedral crystals?
Because they can take long to form resulting in a large crystal well-formed. And also remeber fast forming Crystal =small, slow forming Crystal =large
