Definitions?
Silver crystal= pure metallic silver, any combination of silver with
anything else that's in suspension, not in solution.
As in making rock candy. Once the solution supersaturates, crystaline
sugar forms in the water.
In our case, crystals would be silver hydoxide, various silver oxides
and pure metallic silver with proportions of each dependent on how
supersaturated the sol got , where and how fast.
As with making rock candy and snow flakes, impurities can nucleate a
crystal formation and provide a fractal patterning for the crystal to
grow on and so replicate that pattern while increasing in size.
H2O2 may well scavange that nucleus out, thus breaking the crystal
apart...especially if the nucleus happens to be a silver oxide crystal
"growing" a silver hydroxide and metallic silver coating.
To back that idea up. "IF" the oxygen being produced is monoatomic and
is made in the presence of H2O2, silver oxides formed
there...and..silver hydroxides, would be stripped of thier oxygen
componants and become shiny metallic silver snow flakes that grow bigger
and bigger the longer the batch is run.
My one time experiment showed exactly that happening...like a very
pretty snow scene crystal ball from a souvenir shop.

How are you defining ' silver crystal' ?
