No, it doesn't. The analog of the "molecule" in a crystal is the formula unit.

The shit is called "macromolecules".

google boyyyyyyyeeee

technically yes but they're considered network solids (different from polymers)

wut no !

This means we can do cold fusion using superglue we kept in the refrigerator.

No. Gems are crying lesbians from space.

There are some man-made compounds that are technically one entire molecule when formed. I know examples of some ceramics, and even certain car paints where the entire application becomes on molecule.
