Diamonds are forever, which comes in handy when you want to make someone really suffer during a life sentence while keeping them (securely!) caged.
Characters in a Crystal Prison are put inside some gorgeous, colorful and exquisitely cut variety of gem. This crystal is usually made of Phlebotinum capable of keeping the captive alive despite the lack of air, either in suspended animation or forever awake. This escape proof prison may trap them bodily like a bug in amber; in fact, if the Crystal Prison isn't coffin sized it's going to be small enough to be worn as jewelry.
While breaking the gem can release the captive, attempting this literal jailbreak may not be a guarantee of getting the captive out alive. Breaking it could also shatter or kill the captive, or the gem may be unbreakable unless the jailer/creator somehow dispels it. That being said, a prisoner who is pushed into using Heroic Resolve may crack open the crystal through sheer force of will.
If the crystal is imprisoning a very important character, and if Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors is in-universe at the time, this can get a person or persons from all the various groups to combine their powers into one technique, preferably in a big Finale or at least a Swirly Energy Thingy that features Power Glows, and break the crystalline prison, in a show of Dramatic Shattering.
Contrast Soul Jar, where the soul is put in a crystal, Body to Jewel, where the character becomes crystal, or Crystal Landscape, where the character can explore a place of crystal. People Jars are sometimes this trope with "science." Also compare Harmless Freezing, with ice blocks being the main difference. See also Mineral MacGuffin, Magic Mirror, Phantom Zone and Power Crystal. Not to be confused with a Gilded Cage, which this is very unlikely to be unless it contains some kind of plushly-appointed pocket dimension.
As you can see from the example distribution, this is most common in anime and video games.

The Citadel uses these to imprison cosmic criminals. It doesn't work so well on the Lich.

Bubble Witch Saga:
Stella clears up stages by popping magical, colorful bubbles with her Magic Wand. These bubbles contain things like eyes, tentacles, worms, etc. inside
Some stages have living animals trapped inside big transparent bubbles (frogs, rats, birds, etc.), which must be popped to release them and fill the requirements to pass.
In Bubble Witch 3, the evil cat Wilbur captures not only small owls, but faeries inside the bubbles themselves. This includes the Fairy Queen, whom he locks away inside a special bubble that he carries around right before the game starts. If Stella pops the fairy bubbles, the now-free faeries will pop random empty bubbles to help her clear the stage.

Samurai Jack: the titular monster from "Jack and the Lava Monster" is actually a viking warrior that Aku imprisoned in crystal thousands of years ago. Either through magic or sheer force of will, he worked out a way to manipulate the stone and form a rock body before creating a Death Course in the hopes of drawing in a mighty warrior to give him an honorable death.

Naruto:
In the Three-Tails filler arc from Shippuden, the villain put Hinata in one of these. While the crystal substance was extremely strong, the main problem was getting her out without shattering her if she was even still alive.
In that same arc, the Anti Villainess Guren's ability is to crystallize anything. This means she can turn people into crystals right down to the cellular level. The only ones known to have escaped from this jutsu are the aforementioned Hinata (who surrounded herself with a protective chakra cloak) and the Three-Tails (a monster created from chakra). She also can use it for protective purposes, like she did to her protegé and Morality Pet, Yuukimaru, to keep him safe from her enemies.
It's also made quite clear that she isn't preserving her life by doing this, one of the characters notes that they only have a handful of hours to rescue her before she'll die while trapped.

Several games in the Kirby series include Galacta Knight, a warrior from a time long past who was so powerful that his people sealed him inside a crystal out of fear. Various non-canon subgames have him get broken out to fight Kirby or Meta Knight, usually either ending with him dying violently or being sealed back in the crystal.

Tenchi Muyo!:
Washu was trapped in a gem placed inside a closed Pocket Dimension located somewhere in Kagato's Cool Spaceship. When Mihoshi stumbles into said dimension almost by accident and starts fighting a monster inside it, the energy released starts cracking the gem's surface; once the monster somehow becomes Taken for Granite (and just few inches away from poor Mihoshi), Washu is able to break free safely.

Final Fantasy VII:
Five years before the game begins, Cloud confronts Sephiroth at the Nibelheim power reactor when the latter returns to retrieve Jenova. Thanks to Cloud mortally wounding him, Sephiroth tumbled off the catwalk and fell into the Mako pool below the reactor, eventually winding up in the Lifestream. In the present, Cloud and his party chase "Sephiroth" across the planet, unaware it is Jenova imitating his appearance; the real Sephiroth is frozen in a block of Mako, having drifted to the North Crater during his travels.
Sephiroth's mother, Lucrecia Crescent, is also frozen in crystal in a hidden cave on the Western Continent. But she's there by choice in atonement for her willing participation in Hojo's experiments.

World of Warcraft:
Myzrael is a princess (elemental princess, note) trapped in a crystal in a quest.
A few enemies and bosses, notably some crystal giants, can do this to you. A few ice using bosses can imprison you in an ice block as well.
Warlocks can trap the souls of their enemies in crystals in order to fuel their stronger spells. And it happens to the warlock himself in this episode of "Chronicle of the Annoying Quest"
An Archaeology item of ancient amber allows characters to do this, but only to themselves. As one might imagine, it's not a particularly useful item.

Petre from Skate the Thief has been trapped in a glass ball filled with blue smoke, leaving him as The Faceless, with only his eyes visible to people he talks to. He's in there because of a murder he committed, but "murder" is not exactly the issue; he holds himself responsible for the death of his love because he didn't stop her from over-reaching in her study of magic. He notes that all he would have to do to get out is ask Belamy to let him go, making this an example of Self-Restraint.

Disney published a huge, multi-series crossover that centered on this in its Disney Adventures magazine. A powerful sorcerer was imprisoned in a crystal and his power placed in the gem's mount. The sorcerer is desperate to reunite with the mount and can possess vehicles and electronics to do it. The series involved were DuckTales (1987), Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Goof Troop, and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers.

The Seventh Tower: Some of the seven Guardians are trapped within their own Keystones, so their bodies are suspended in an extradimensional void but their minds are alert and can be communicated with through the Keystone. Oddly, this isn't an intended function of the Keystones, but was done in secret by the Big Bad exploiting their magic.

This is Hellmaster Fibrizzo's signature move in Slayers, whether a coffin-sized one on individuals (like the ones he crafted for Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadis, Sylphiel, Martina and Zangulus — and he starts crushing Gourry's to taunt Lina and provoke her into summoning the Lord of Nightmares) or a titanic glacier on an entire city (like Sylphiel's Doomed Hometown). It was copied by Rezo in the 4th season.

The Powerpuff Girls (2016). Princess Morebucks unsurprisingly desires to be a Powerpuff Girl and devises a complex plan to achieve this goal. She indirectly isolates Buttercup from her sisters and has a monster pummel them repeatedly until they agree to make her a Powerpuff Girl "Now that there's an opening". Once they comply, she makes the monster leave and tosses them a Jewelry box. The crystal inside becomes a heart shaped prison for the both of them. After Bubbles and Blossom say that she can be a Powerpuff Girl she plans to destroy them so she can be the ONLY Powerpuff Girl.

The Stormlight Archive: Spren imprisoned in gemstones power the Magitek fabrials. Of course, since most spren are non-sentient and even the sentient ones don't think like humans do, it's unclear if they care or even notice when they are imprisoned. This is used intentionally in Oathbringer when an ancient, powerful Voidspren is trapped inside a gigantic ruby.

Silent Hope has the Princess encased in a giant crystal that is made up of the tears she's shed after her father jumped into the Abyss and envelop her. Fragments of this crystal can be found in the Abyss, enabling you to swap characters (and get an attribute bonus based on who's tagging out) or leave. When the Princess actually died is anyone's guess, but when you defeat the King - who involuntarily transforms into the King of Malice for your fight with him - the two of them pass on to the afterlife after their souls meet one last time, but the crystal and the fragments remain.

In Kingdom Hearts, six of the seven Princesses of Heart (namely, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Alice, Jasmine, and Snow White) are sealed in crystalline prisons, with odd black thorns wrapped around their bodies. It seems like the crystals may serve a practical purpose, as they allow Maleficent to channel the Princesses' hearts to reveal a giant Keyhole flooded with evil power. Or they may have just needed to hold them in place to do it, who knows?

The Legend of Zelda:
Towards the end of Ocarina of Time, Princess Zelda is imprisoned in a crystal as seen in the page picture.
In A Link to the Past, this was the the fate of the seven maidens when they entered the Dark World, as they were too pure to change form and thus became imprisoned in crystal instead.
Din in Oracle of Seasons is trapped inside one (and used as a shield) by Onox. Hitting the crystal with your sword makes you take damage, so use the Rod of Seasons instead.
Like in A Link to the Past, the six Maidens and Zelda are enjeweled again in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.
In Skyward Sword, Zelda does this willingly to prevent the end of the world.

This was Retconned out of existence by revealing that "Alternate Universe Superman's cousin" was her true origin.

In Destiny 2's Season of the Lost, this is the fate for long-time Greater-Scope Villain Savathûn, the Witch-Queen, courtesy of Queen Mara Sov of the Reef. Interestingly, it's implied the prisoner is partially willing, allowing Mara to imprison her as part of a bargain, since being in the crystal prison protects Savathûn from her sister, Xivu Arath, and from her worm's rampant hunger.

One of these contains the soul robot of Maureen Miller in The Adventure Zone: Balance's Crystal Kingdom arc. It was created by the Philosopher's Stone, which then proceeded to go out of control and turn the entire building into the titular Crystal Kingdom. Ironically, Maureen is the one who created her prison. When she died, she saw the Hunger, breaking her mind. Her son Lucas tried to bring her back but failed because of the damage what she saw did. By putting herself in the prison, she prevented what she saw from taking her over... but it's pretty much impossible to control a Grand Relic, so she almost ended the world in the process.

Rhombulus of Star vs. the Forces of Evil encases anyone he and/or the rest of the Magic High Commission consider to be evil in crystal. It seems to be their method of punishing criminals. Most of these are monsters, hinting at their hypocritical Fantastic Racism. The only human-looking one is Eclipsa, one of the previous Queens who was in love with a monster, and rumored to be The Dreaded. The season 3 finale reveals that Eclipsa's monster husband, Globgor, is also trapped in crystal. His crystal was left in his and Eclipsa's old lair instead of stored with the rest of Rhombulus' prisoners because his immense size made moving him too difficult. It's nearly impossible for anyone but Rhombulus himself to open the crystals.

The Elder Scrolls:
The series has Soul Gems, magical crystals which can be used to trap the souls of living things after using a Soul Trap spell. The gems typically range from Petty to Grand, with more powerful creatures requiring larger (and thus, rarer and more expensive) Soul Gems. Additionally, Black Soul Gems are made from Grand Soul Gems, and allow for the trapping of "black" sapient souls (like those of Men, Mer, and the Beast Races) — their use is considered one of the darkest of The Dark Arts in-universe. Once filled, soul gems can be broken and the souls bound to items, permanently "enchanting" them with magical abilities, as well as to recharge already enchanted items.
Azura's Star is a legendary artifact associated with the Daedric Prince Azura. Azura's Star is not destroyed during the enchanting process like standard Soul Gems, allowing it to be refilled and reused. It won't accept the souls of sapient creatures unless you perform a dark ritual to corrupt it.
Before the development of Black Soul Gems (their creation only became possible as a result of the events of Daggerfall), it was still possible to trap black souls. It just required a bit more inventiveness and special means, as instead of outright ignoring Arkay's Blessing (the term for what protects black souls, that does not allow their use "without consent"), it had to be bent and manipulated. Redguard featured this prominently, though not all the souls were trapped in crystals...

Mega Man X2 features Crystal Snail and his weapon, the Crystal Hunter. Getting hit by it will trap you in crystal, and you have to mash buttons to get out. When you beat him and get his weapon, you can do the same to weaker enemies and use the trapped enemy as an Improvised Platform. And if you dash into them, they shatter into pieces.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII:
Five years before the game begins, Cloud confronts Sephiroth at the Nibelheim power reactor when the latter returns to retrieve Jenova. Thanks to Cloud mortally wounding him, Sephiroth tumbled off the catwalk and fell into the Mako pool below the reactor, eventually winding up in the Lifestream. In the present, Cloud and his party chase "Sephiroth" across the planet, unaware it is Jenova imitating his appearance; the real Sephiroth is frozen in a block of Mako, having drifted to the North Crater during his travels.
Sephiroth's mother, Lucrecia Crescent, is also frozen in crystal in a hidden cave on the Western Continent. But she's there by choice in atonement for her willing participation in Hojo's experiments.
Final Fantasy XIII: Once branded a L'Cie by the Fal'Cie, Crystal Stasis is the reward for fulfilling their focus, in contrast to failing and becoming a Cie'th (i.e. transforming into a twisted, zombie-like horror). But this also means the Fal'cie can reawaken them and use them as puppets as much as they want. This is what happened with Serah and Dajh, and Vanille and Fang were originally Pulse L'Cie brought to Cocoon and awakened by Barthandelus as his Unwitting Pawns. Ultimately, this also happens to Lightning, Snow, Sazh and Hope by slaying Orphan, but soon awaken as a result of Vanille and Fang's double Deus ex Machina Heroic Sacrifice.
World of Final Fantasy have Hauyn trapped in crystal cage for several hundred years by Laynn and Reynn so she's stop her from interfering when they try to open the Ultima Gate. Considering what happened to her it's understandable why she has grudge towards them.

Green Lantern:
This is one of the methods the Star Sapphires (Violet Lanterns) use to recruit new members. The crystals they encase people in brainwash them to become more compassionate and compel them to join the Star Sapphires. Curiously, though they've trapped men before, all have either broken free or were rescued by someone else.
Green Lantern: The Lost Army: The local lightsmiths create crystalline forms rather than light constructs using their method of wielding the emotional spectrum. The red smiths kill several Lanterns by encasing them in red crystal, with John managing to break through his before he runs out of oxygen and power to his ring.

Child of the Storm has Demonreach, an island prison designed by Strange and Merlin which is full of these, with its prisoners usually minimally being Humanoid Abominations. It also siphons off their power. According to Strange, they based it off the Rock of Eternity, created by Agamotto, which is capable of producing these at its master's command - and when the Council Elite of Skyfathers gets uppity, Strange, wielding the Tesseract, demonstrates just how effective it is. On Zeus.

Sassette as a real young female Smurfling was put into suspended animation inside a crystal in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf and awakened 100 years later when all her fellow Smurfs were now adults and now had three young Smurflings become her friends. Only she was awakened without any memory of who she was before she was imprisoned in the crystal, so Papa Smurf told her that she was created with the same formula that was used to create Smurfette. A few years later in "Little Sister Smurf Lost", a female wraith named Avengelica awakened Sassette's true memories as she was the one who imprisoned the Smurfling in the first place, to be used as a pawn for getting even with all males in the world.

This was Retconned out of existence by revealing that "Alternate Universe Superman's cousin" was her true origin.

Used several times in the first Sailor Moon's anime:
In the first season, Jadeite got this for repeatedly failing Queen Beryl. Later, the people who once were the Seven Demons get kidnapped and imprisoned by either Kunzite or the Brainwashed and Crazy Mamoru into the Black Crystal that pinpointed their "heritages", but are released by the end of the episode.
In the final fight against Kaorinite, Tuxedo Mask also gets sealed in a glass crystal by Senishenta. It also happened to him in the R movie, with Fiore as the culprit. In the first case, he has to be unsealed by the Senshi; in the second, he breaks out when Fiore tortures Moon via sucking her out of her Life Energy almost to death.
In the second season (plus the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal, Neo Queen Serenity was trapped in a coffin-like crystal during the Bad Future. Subverted: the Queen had been very gravely injured after Taking the Bullet for Chibi-Usa during the invasion of the Black Moon Clan. Her wounds and the Dark Energy inside them caused her to fall in a coma, so the Senshi of said Bad Future encased the Neo Queen in crystal to protect her from any other threats. She's healed and released when Wiseman is defeated.
Downplayed in the manga and Crystal's fourth season, in which the Maenaids are first seen in crystal prisons in Elysian...but it's not so much to keep them imprisoned as it is to keep them safe from the curse affecting Elysian.
Used in the fifth season, when the Inner and Outer Senshi are one-by-one sealed within mirrors by Nehelenia. When Usagi goes "Take Me Instead" and gives Nehelenia a You Are Not Alone speech, the magic weakens and the Senshi are released.

Dragons: Riders of Berk: The Death Song is a predatory dragon that spews amber instead of breathing fire. It uses the amber to cocoon prey, though not enough to suffocate them, as the Death Song seems to prefer live meals. The amber is impossible to break through blunt force or cutting, but it does melt at a high enough temperature, which weakens it enough for the humans or dragons trapped in it to break free.

Although ice is not usually considered a crystal, Snow of MÄR evokes this trope by encasing herself in ice when she first appears, and the characters, good and evil, don't want to just bust the ice apart, possibly for fear of shattering her as well.

Celeste: During the second half of the Mirror Temple chapter Theo gets stuck inside a crystal. From that point on, Madeline needs to carry his prison around to save him (and to proceed, abandoning him is not an option as each screen is barred by a door that won't let the player through without Theo), unable to dash while holding him. The crystal is nearly impervious, blocking charging monsters and withstanding spikes, only succumbing to bottomless pits and when crushed under elevators — if he dies, Madeline dies immediately as well and the level promptly restarts.

In the Anime version of King of Bandit Jing, the mermaid that Jing is trying to steal is trapped inside a crystal (in the manga, she is merely chained inside the tower).

Before the development of Black Soul Gems (their creation only became possible as a result of the events of Daggerfall), it was still possible to trap black souls. It just required a bit more inventiveness and special means, as instead of outright ignoring Arkay's Blessing (the term for what protects black souls, that does not allow their use "without consent"), it had to be bent and manipulated. Redguard featured this prominently, though not all the souls were trapped in crystals...

Final Fantasy XIII: Once branded a L'Cie by the Fal'Cie, Crystal Stasis is the reward for fulfilling their focus, in contrast to failing and becoming a Cie'th (i.e. transforming into a twisted, zombie-like horror). But this also means the Fal'cie can reawaken them and use them as puppets as much as they want. This is what happened with Serah and Dajh, and Vanille and Fang were originally Pulse L'Cie brought to Cocoon and awakened by Barthandelus as his Unwitting Pawns. Ultimately, this also happens to Lightning, Snow, Sazh and Hope by slaying Orphan, but soon awaken as a result of Vanille and Fang's double Deus ex Machina Heroic Sacrifice.

Empires SMP Season 1: Scott and Gem manage to trap Xornoth in one as a Sealed Evil in a Can, but it doesn't last when it shatters in the earthquake during the Apocalypse How at the end of the series, releasing Xornoth once again.

In the Johto season of Pokémon: The Original Series, when Ash and Co. take a Journey to the Center of the Mind of the shy Larvitar that Ash has been taking care of, Larvitar's fear of humans due to his Dark and Troubled Past is symbolized by an image of the poor thing encased in crystal. It takes Ash lots of effort to get him to open up.

In Dark Souls, Dusk of Oolacile was trapped for centuries inside a Crystal Golem. Defeating the Golem frees her and allows you to summon her later so she can teach you a few nifty spells.

Saint Seiya:
In the Asgard saga, there's an extremely nasty version. The God Warrior of the Megrez Delta star, Alberich, can summon the "Amethyst Sealed" —an attack that sends shards of amethyst flying from his body and towards the enemy, encasing and sealing him/her (hence the name) in a shell of translucent gemstone. If they're not freed, victims will be robbed of their Life Energy, and eventually become skeletons trapped in amethyst. And the only way to really free them is to kill Alberich himself. That almost happens to Marin and later Seiya and Hyoga, and Shiryu has to save them both via fighting Alberich to the death.
Also happens to Hyoga in the anime, but this is an ice prison rather than a mineral one. Shiryu, Seiya and Shun find him, then Shiryu uses one of the Twelve Weapons from the Libra Cloth to unseal Hyoga's body before he actually freezes to death.
Happens a second time to Hyoga during his rematch with Aquarius Camus, this time complete with Heroic Willpower and Dramatic Shattering.

In the second season (plus the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal, Neo Queen Serenity was trapped in a coffin-like crystal during the Bad Future. Subverted: the Queen had been very gravely injured after Taking the Bullet for Chibi-Usa during the invasion of the Black Moon Clan. Her wounds and the Dark Energy inside them caused her to fall in a coma, so the Senshi of said Bad Future encased the Neo Queen in crystal to protect her from any other threats. She's healed and released when Wiseman is defeated.
