      Jake and Pete have mentioned my 2 favourite crystals so I’ll go with my 3rd favourite and that’s diamond. The reason I think diamond is very cool is because it’s just made of carbon….but so is the graphite in your pencils. I think it’s amazing how you have 2 things that are made completely of Carbon that can be so different and it’s all because of the way the carbon atoms are joined together.
