To cause to form crystals, or to assume the crystalline form.

To be converted into a crystal; to take on a crystalline form, through the action of crystallogenic or cohesive attraction; to precipitate from a solution in the form of crystals.

Process by which matter becomes crystalline (solid) from a gaseous, fluid or dispersed state. The separation, usually from a liquid phase on cooling, of a solid crystalline phase.

cause to form crystals or assume crystalline form; "crystallize minerals"

assume crystalline form; become crystallized

To form a crystal shape, or to have crystals in a particular group.

To form sugar- or honey-based syrups into crystals. The term also describes the coating.

The process through which crystals form, resulting in the change from a liquid or vapor to a solid. Crystallization can happen in two basic ways: 1. By lowering the temperature of a melted material like magma or water, atoms and ions start to aggregate into crystals, forming solid rock or ice. This can also happen from a vapor, as is the case with the formation of snowflakes, but it is much less common. 2. By evaporating water from a solution, the saturation point of the water is reached and a solid begins to precipitate out as crystals (for example, salt flats in the desert have been precipitated out of lakes that dried up).
