Isle of Wonder, get past the snapdragons the first time, question mark cursor on Graham, take frozen leaf, use leaf on baby cabbage to get frozen tear, Isle of the Crown Nightingale, then enter the pawn shop and  give tear to the owner.

Okay, this might be a silly question, but how do you know to

give the crystalized tear to the Pawn Shop owner

? What it asked for at some point and I missed that conversation? Or...?

It's not in a dialogue - look at the web-b-gone and there's a sign above it that shows what the shop owner is willing to exchange it for

It bothers me slightly that the item is referred to as a "crystal tear", when in fact it is only a frozen tear.

Although when you look at it in your inventory, it does look like crystal.

It may be easy to accept the puzzle retrospectively, but my issue is that its title is misleading, because it is, in fact, not crystal.

Never heard of ice crystals?  The term is actually pretty generic and can be used to refer to quite a few different things.

[kindofdoon]

I suppose that loosely makes sense.

[Cez]

that's just because we didn't want to give it away completely, and have people think outside the box

Technically, ice is crystallized. So I believe, technically, it would count.

[Baggins]

This is coming from geology minor... Ice does technically count for 'geological' definition of "crystal".

"A mineral in which the systematic internal arrangement of atoms is outwardly reflected as a latticework of repeated three-dimensional units that form a geometric solid with a surface consisting of symmetrical planes."'

Yes, Ice is a "mineral". http://www.minerals.net/mineral/ice.aspx

Definition of a mineral;
"solid, crystalline structure, definite chemical formula, naturally occuring, and inorganic."
