🔮 How Crystals Grow
Crystals aren't made in a factory — they grow all by themselves deep underground! 🌍 When hot, mineral-filled water or melted rock slowly cools down over a very long time, the tiny bits inside link together into neat, repeating shapes. That's a crystal! Some take thousands or even millions of years to grow. The slower they grow, the bigger and clearer they get. That's why gems are so special and rare — they're like tiny time capsules from inside the Earth. 💎
