Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g2930 Greek: krustallos

Crystal:

from kruos, "ice," and hence properly anything congealed and transparent, denotes "crystal," a kind of precious stone, Rev 4:6; 22:1. Rock-crystal is pure quartz; it crystallizes in hexagonal prisms, each with a pyramidical apex.

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.
