Crystal:

B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g2929 | Greek: krustallizo |
Crystal:
"to be of crystalline brightness and transparency, to shine like crystal," is found in Rev 21:11, where it is said of Christ as the "Light-giver" (phoster) of the Heavenly City (not phos, "light," RV and AV). Possibly there the verb has a transitive force, "to transform into crystal splendor," as of the effect of Christ upon His saints.
