Yeah, you can melt anything if you get it hot enough.

Be sure not to confuse the terms crystal and mineral. A crystal is made of a mineral, the fact that it is a crystal, simply means that it's atoms are arranged in a periodical and static way, in the crystal structure. This structure falls apart as soon as the mineral melts, so a molten mineral can not be called a crystal.
