In chemistry and mineralogy, a crystal is a solid in which the constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.

Salt. It is the oldest commericialy processed crystal. The Phonecians traded it to the Etruscans for gold in the 3rd century b.c.. They had hard salt, the Etruscans didn't, it tasted good on chicken and you can't eat gold.
