Quartz is a German word (quarz). People say the word means "cross-vein ore"
Igneous rocks can have both small and large crystals, depending on how quickly they cool. If an igneous rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it can form large crystals, while rapid cooling at the Earth's surface or in an eruption can result in small or no visible crystals.
Hand specimens of microcrystalline quartz are typically aggregates of crystals rather than single crystals. Microcrystalline quartz is composed of small interlocking crystals that are too small to be individually distinguished without magnification.
Geode is the scientific name. It is derived from Greek and means "earthlike."
The size of crystals in an igneous rock is called texture. Texture can range from fine-grained (small crystals) to coarse-grained (large crystals).
Yes, the faster a rock cools, the smaller the crystals will be. When rocks cool quickly, there is less time for crystals to grow, resulting in finer-grained textures with smaller crystals. Conversely, slower cooling allows more time for crystals to grow, leading to larger crystal sizes.
The name of frozen water crystals is ice.
de-watered crystals
The technical name for the crystals suspended in fluid in the inner ear is "otoconia" or "otoliths". These crystals help in detecting changes in head position and movement to maintain balance and spatial orientation.

The name of a fine-grained rock embedded with crystals and gems is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain various crystals and minerals, often formed in volcanic or sedimentary deposits. They are prized for their unique beauty and can be cut open to reveal the dazzling crystals inside.
Lye crystals, also known as sodium hydroxide crystals, are not true crystals in the traditional sense. They are typically in a solid form made up of small, irregularly shaped particles rather than the well-defined structure found in crystals.
A scientist who studies crystals is known as a Crystallographer.
The name Crysele is given to girls who are cute. It comes from the word crystals.
Geodes
mostly, they are called crystals
