The dynamics of a cloud of ultra-cold Rydberg atoms is studied at off-resonant laser driving. We find that excitation crystals are formed dynamically as a consequence of interaction-induced resonant excitations. These crystals can extend over the entire ensemble volume, have lattice constants independent of the ensemble length, are not localized relative to the ensemble, and sensitively depend on the shape of the interaction potential. Compared to previously proposed crystals, these distinct properties lead to qualitatively different predictions for the spatial excitation density, the Mandel $Q$ parameter, and the total number of excitations.
