Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of crystal cell differentiation. The process by which a hemocyte precursor cell acquires the characteristics of a crystal cell, a class of cells that contain crystalline inclusions and are involved in the melanization of pathogenic material in the hemolymph. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of crystal cell differentiation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of hemocyte differentiation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of hemocyte differentiation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the characteristics of a mature hemocyte. Hemocytes are blood cells associated with a hemocoel (the cavity containing most of the major organs of the arthropod body) which are involved in defense and clotting of hemolymph, but not involved in transport of oxygen.
