"Crystal" and "glass" are synonyms for clear crystalized meth.
The crystals can resemble anything from tiny grains of salt to
shards of glass to stalagtites

"Crank" is meth with impurites from the maunufacturing process
and comes in a rainbow of colors.  Yellow, white, and brown (aka
peanut butter) are the most common though.

The basic difference between AB & C is purity.  One can create
"glass" by filtering "crank" with acetone or toulene.
