A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is crystallography. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. The word crystal is derived from the ancient Greek word κÏÏσταλλος (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice.[1] The word once referred particularly to quartz, or "rock crystal".
And Rock candy (also called rock sugar) is a type of confectionery mineral composed of relatively large sugar crystals. The candy is formed by allowing a supersaturated solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a surface suitable for crystal nucleation, such as a string or stick. Heating the water before adding the sugar allows more sugar to dissolve and thus produces larger crystals. Crystals form 6-7 days. Food coloring may be added to the mixture to produce colored candy.
So.. basically one is a solid ROCK! and the other is basically FOOD!! :) (enjoy)

How can you tell the difference between crystal meth and rock salt?
You Really can't
What is the difference between quartz and crystal?
Both quartz and rock crystal are made up primarily of silicon dioxide. The main difference between them is that rock crystal does not have any significant amount of trace elements that would color it. Quartz does contain coloring trace elements.
What is the difference between rock candy and hard candy?
well first of all rock candy is supposed to look like a rock (duh!) hard candy is usually made of different ingredients than rock candy all candy is made different but really there is no difference i just found out there are certain things to make rock candy rock candy is made over time meaning you have to wait a few weeks if you make it yourself but hard candy like jolly ranchers are kinda baked if that's what you could call it
What kind of rock candy is Grand Forks British Columbia famous for?
colorful crystal
If you make your own rock candy crystal what is the conclusion?
I DONT KNOW Thats What Im Trying To Find Out ! -__-
What is the difference between magma and crystal?
Magma is molten rock, the dissolved mineral remains of solid rock. During cooling and solidification, the magma will crystallize into a mass of crystallized mineral components.
What are facts about rock candy like who invented it or what is it used for besides eating when was it invented where was it invented how did they get the idea to invent it?
The first rock candy maker is not known. We do know that it originated from India and Persia, sometime before the 9th century. He accidently heated sugar and made this form of candy that was shaped as a crystal which is now called "Rock Candy".Read more: Who_invented_rock_candy
What is the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphanitic rocks?
Phaneritic rock has visible identifiable crystal grains. Aphanitic rock has crystal grains that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. In igneous rock, the difference is due to the amount of time spent in cooling. Long term cooling of magma underground leads to large crystals, rapid cooling of lava above ground leads to small crystal texture.
Catchy title for science project about rock candy?
Because you have to find material to stick to rocks to the stick. And it invovles minerals
How do rock candy from?
how do rock candy from
What is classifies into?
Cooled magma is turned into a plutonic igneous rock, eg. Granite (you can see the difference between plutonic and volcanic because plutonic have large crystal particles)
Is rock candy a rock?
No. Rock candy is crystallized sugar.
