White silica gel crystals and beads are chemically identical (amorphous silicon dioxide) non-indicating desiccants, differing primarily in physical form and strength. Beads are spherical, polished, and have higher crushing strength. Crystals are irregularly shaped, resembling coarse sand. Both are used to absorb moisture, but beads offer better handling
