In contrast to ice, a snowflake is a crystalline form of frozen water. 'Crystalline' means crystal-like, or like a crystal. Crystalline matter is composed of molecules that are organized and arranged in a consistent pattern. Crystalline molecules are naturally coordinated, synchronized, and balanced with one another. Any form of matter that has organized, coordinated and symmetrically arranged molecules is crystalline or crystal-like.
The significance of crystal-like matter is that the organized molecules are a reflection of a unified energy field. Probably the simplest way to describe a unified energy field is by making an analogy. Anybody who has attended an inspiring concert performance has experienced the electrical sensation of vibing in oneness with the singers, musicians, and the rest of the crowd. The shared harmonic vibration that is experienced by those present is a unified energy field. The shared vibe connects the individuals in attendance into one collective pulsating energy wave. Each person shares in the vibe, adds to the vibe, and harmonizes with the vibe.
Crystalline molecules come together in such a way that they generate and share a similar energy. The intermolecular force that bonds the molecules together is a coordinated, organized energy. It is as if a song is orchestrating the molecules into doing the same dance in unison with one another and within an equal distance from one another. In turn, each molecule adds to and harmonizes the collective energy field of the crystal.
This is important because the unified energy field of many forms of crystal yield energy potential. This means that certain crystals have the ability to produce or exchange energy. When molecules are congruent (arranged in harmonious alignment), they have the potential to freely share and exchange electrons with one another without decomposing. It is as if a cloud of free electrons permeates throughout the crystalline structure. In Physics, this cloud of ions within crystal-like matter is called electron gas. Ions in the electron gas move freely throughout the entire body of certain crystalline matter. This gives certain crystals the potential to:
Conduct- Some crystals allow energy to travel through them, but offer some resistance or impedance to the energy flow.
Semi-conduct- Certain crystals alternate between conducting an energy flow and insulating (blocking) an energy flow. This causes the energy flow to travel in a rhythmic pulse.
Super-conduct- Certain crystals allow energy to travel through them without offering any resistance to the energy flow.
Resonate- Some crystals amplify or add to energy circulating through them by resonating or vibrating in unison with the source of the energy.
