Diamond
金剛 is a common way to call diamonds in Chinese and Japanese.
Traditionally, there were not that many diamonds that made their way to Asia, so this word does not have the deep cultural significance that it does in the west (thanks mostly to De Beers' marketing). Therefore, this word was kind of borrowed from other uses.
This title can also refer to vajra (a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond that originally refers to an indestructible substance); hard metal; pupa of certain insects; Vajrapani, Buddha's warrior attendant; King Kong; adamantine; Buddhist symbol of the indestructible truth.
Crystal
This word means “crystal” such as fine crystal glassware or diamonds in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Hanja.
水晶 is a cool selection if your name is Crystal, as it will match your name by meaning (rather than pronunciation).
It's also cool because it will universally contain the meaning of your name in most Asian languages.
