It depends on what elements constitute the crystal. Some crystals can be toxic, others are harmless. It also depends on the type of contact you come into with it. A crystal such as table salt, for example (Soduim Chloride) is considered harmless, and even improves the taste of some foods, yet if it is consumed in great quantities it can become deady. Not because it is toxic, but because your body cannot deal with large amounts of it. If a crystal contains elements that are, in their natural state, toxic; then yes, the crystal itself would also likely be toxic.

How can the bacteria bacillus thuringiensis be used to control insects in crops since they produce protein crystals that are toxic to the digestive system of insects?

the bacteria bacillus thuringiensis produce protein crystals that are toxic to yhe digestive system of insects.How can these bacteria be used to control insects in crops?Apply the bacteria to growing plants. Bio technologists have devised a method to utilize Bacillus thuringens to prevent insects on crops. They insert the gene responsible for the protein crystals into the genome of the crop plants and culture the plants. The resultant plants produce the protein crystals by themselves because they contain the gene to do so. An example of the above method is Bt cotton. It is a high grade cotton plant which is naturally resistant to pests as it has been genetically engineered.
