Not really, it depends on what the crystal is. Salt is a crystal of the compound sodium chloride, for example. A diamond is a particular lattice of carbon atoms.

Again, we have to be careful speculating based on the science. Creating a diamond--synthetic diamond--would be impossible around Annie, of course. So it is probably "A Diamond, Jim, but Not as We Know it" which can somehow be synthesized around a person and somehow preserve her body and possibly keep it alive. . . and. . . stuff!
