+Crystals are magnificently repeating three-dimensional arrangements of atoms, 
+ions, and molecules. Their inner structures are complex and intricately 
+patterned. The oldest known pieces of our planet's surface are comprised of 
+4.4-billion-year-old zircon crystals from the Jack Hills of western 
+Australia. 
+
+In crystallography, crystal systems that have space groups assigned to a 
+common lattice system are combined into a crystal family. The seven crystal
+systems are: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal,
+hexagonal, and cubic.
+
+In Chihuahua, Mexico, a limestone cavern 1,000 feet below the surface contains 
+the largest crystals in the world: glittering gypsum formations up to 6 feet 
+in diameter and 36 feet long, weighing as much as 55 tons. The streets of 
+New York might not be paved with gold, but the schist beneath them is studded 
+with opal, beryl, chrysoberyl, garnet, and three different kinds of tourmaline. 
+Manhattan was built, quite literally, upon a bedrock of jewels.
+
+The Cullinan stones, all flawless, are now part of the British Regalia.
+The largest, a 530-carat behemoth, is set in one of the British royal 
+scepters. 
+
+Arguably the most famous precious gemstone in history, the Hope Diamond is
+also reputed to be the most accursed. This hefty, 45.52-carat sparkler
+has been blamed for a laundry list of tragedies, including but not limited 
+to: beatings, stabbings, murder, insanity, and suicide. In fact, King Louis 
+XVI and Marie Antoinette owned the fancy blue diamond during the French
+Revolution -- and their beheadings. 
+
+The last person to privately own the diamond was an American socialite 
+named Evalyn McLean. Her daughter died of an overdose, her son died in a 
+car crash, and her husband left her for another woman. The trustees of her estate 
+sold the diamond to Harry Winston, who eventually donated it to the Smithsonian,
+where it remains to this day, on permanent display for all to enjoy -- from a safe, 
+comfortable distance.
