well it is not a perfect example.
C can be amorphous but crystalline in the allotropes diamond or graphite.
not a perfect example; not even a decent example

edit: thanks for the TD
I do have a BS in Chem w/ honors in chem from U C Berkeley
and I took 2 years of solid state physics and a materials science course.
You may not like the answer - but to the best of my knowledge it is correct. look up diamond - it is not an amorphous solid - it's crystalline.
In mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice.
