Also means
crystal-clear
Usage Note
Cristalino describes both literal crystal-like transparency (agua cristalina) and figurative clarity (explicación cristalina). In anatomy it doubles as a noun — el cristalino is the lens of the eye, a false-friend trap for medical learners.
Examples
"El lago tiene un agua cristalina."
Natural Translation
The lake has crystal-clear water.
