Can you define the types of crystals?
 The three basic types of crystals are

Single crystals
Poly crystals
Liquid crystals

Those crystals in which patterns are regular throughout the whole crystal are known as single crystals.example: silicon
 If all the well maintained faces of the mono crystals are combined together then the resultant crystal formed is known as poly crystals. Example-Ceramic

Liquid crystals are not found in purely liquid form. These are basically fluids between the solids and liquids, which are formed upon heating some organic crystalline solids. Eg: Esters, Cholesterol
