No, these are two different things. They will have slightly different chemical equations to show the differences that arise.
Iodine crystal is solid Iodine. Iodine solution is when Iodine crystals are dissolved in water.
it has molecular crystals
iodine is made from diatomic iodine molecules,the two iodine atoms are covalently bonded with each other.the iodine molecules have dispersion forces so,the crystal is made from the dispersion forces between the iodine molecule.
Iodine act as modrant for crystal violet and helps its attachement more firmly.
In Gram staining procedure during bacterial staining , iodine forms a complex with crystal violet stain which stains Gram positive bacteria blue to violet .
Iodine is added as a mordant to enhance crystal violet staining by forming a crystal violet-iodine complex.

The appearance of iodine crystals: lustrous, metallic, gray.
iodine
It is crystal violet & stains all cells purple.
Iodine act as modrant for crystal violet and helps its attachement more firmly.
iodine is soluble in CHCl3. Liquid become purple in color.
Iodine is used to bind the Crystal Violet to the Gram Positive microbes.
Iodine work as modrant to crystal violet if the iodine step will be emitted then the crystal violet will not be able to show its effect and all cells will appear pink when counter stain with saffranin
Add 13.2g of Iodine ( resublimed) to 1 liter of glacial acetic acid ( 99.5 %) pure. Heat lightly to dissolve Iodine. Cool the solution and add 3 ml of bromine solution to it ( to increase the halide percentage). Store the hanus solution in a Amber bottle and away from light. The Hanus solution can be used for a year.
