In general, sedimentary rock crystals would be crystals that are found in sedimentary rocks. Normally they are calcite or quartz as they are the minerals most likely to cement sediments to form sedimentary rocks. There is a group of sedimentary rocks called evaporites that include crystals of salt, gypsum, sylvite, glauberite, thenardite, mirabilite and a few others.
However, there is a tremendous variety of other minerals that can produce crystals in sedimentary rocks. Geodes from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky can have crystals of barite, millerite, sphalerite, galena, fluorite, and aragonite. In other areas of the planet crystals of azurite and malachite can be found in sedimentary rocks. There are many, many other types of crystals that have been found in sedimentary rocks.
Well, Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock and sedimentary rocks are not crystalline in nature, but they do consist of mineral crystals such as Quartz.
Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.
No. Shale is a sedimentary rock formed from mud.
Yes it can.
It is conceivable that a fossil could be found among sedimentary rock crystals, and some dead organisms have actually been replaced by minerals which are composed of crystals. Fossils in gems and crystals from metamorphic or igneous processes--no.
These minerals are called evaporites.

yes it does. Even a igneous rock and a sedimentary rock and a metamorphic rock all have crystals in them.
Metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rock are all composed of crystals, which vary greatly in size.
If by particles you mean the size of the crystals, then the crystals in metamorphic rock are often larger than in the sedimentary rock. High heat and pressure can cause the minerals to recrystallize. This would be the case in the metamorphosis of limestone (sedimentary) to marble (metamorphic).

Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.
A rock is amineral
A sugar cube looks like a sedimentary rock because, it has small and tiny particals such as those tiny crystals you see in a sugar cube. A sedimentary rock on the other hand, is composed of small sediments, like a sugar cube is composed of small particals and crystals.
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.
