Temperature doesn't really affect the crystal size; the rate of cooling is the major factor. The faster the mineral, rock, etc. (whatever has the crystals) cools, the smaller the crystals- the slower the larger.

If you were "growing" crystals with a set, the warmer the temperature generally means the larger the crystals.

How would a geologist explain the lack of crystal development in the rock sample?

A2. Crystals are mineral growth, and mainly occur during conditions favourable to crystal growth. These include metamorphism, where the temperature and pressure are elevated and encourage such growth. Occasionally crystals will precipitate out of solution an lower pressure and temperature. In either event, the type of crystal will reveal some of the history of the parent rock.
