You have some options:
"fabula magnorum crystallorum", "fabula de magnis crystallis", or even "de magnis crystallis" only.

"Fabula Magus Crystallis"??
What should that mean?
miget man12
Fabula means "Story", "Fable", etc.
Magnus (emphasis on there being an N wink.gif ) means "Great" but you'd probably want to use "Magnis" instead, it makes more sense.
and Crystallis isn't actually latin, but a latinized word from "Crystal" meaning "Of the crystal" biggrin.gif

Fabula magnis crystallis:
Tale of the great crystal
Fabula magnus crystallis doesn't make any sense, because you've got an adjective that doesn't match either of the two nouns smile.gif

Fabula magna crystallis
Great tale of the Crystal

"Semper ubi sub ubi"
miget man12
@Omega Coriel: that actually means
"Always where under where"
ubi means "where" as in the adverb, not "wear" happy.gif

No, I'm sorry but that's all wrong.
Crystallum, i is a latin word indeed, meaning a crystal, a gem or even ice.
Crystallis does not mean "of the crystal", that would be crystalli (genitive case, singular form).
"Tale of the great crystal" could be translated into "Fabula magni crystalli".

...but there's no Y in latin! ohmy.gif
sorry, I figured it would be 3rd declension... I feel smart sweat.gif
...I shouldn't have left my latin-english dictionary at school over the weekend:D

EDIT: so does the Y imply a Greek root? or perhaps it's later, medieval latin? I'm kinda curious now happy.gif

This whole thread reminded me why latin is a dead langauge.
