Crystals start growing by a process called "nucleation". Nucleation can either start with the molecules themselves (we'll call this unassisted nucleation), or with the help of some solid matter already in the solution (we'll call this assisted nucleation).
The formation of crystals involves heat and lots of pressure. mostly, the minerals involve are silica based.
See the links below for more detailed information.

Gold, image AU on the periodic table of aspects, would not type in nature even with the undeniable fact that that's latest in nature interior right here way, quoting a useful source of steerage i'm going to incorporate as a link: "the same old source of gold is igneous rocks or floor concentration. A deposit oftentimes desires some form of secondary enrichment to type an economically available ore deposit: the two chemical or actual techniques like erosion or extra many times metamorphism, which concentrates the gold in sulfide minerals or quartz."

crystals form from cooling i think. the longer something takes to cool the larger the crystals
