If anything you would not want a crystal lattice, Metal is already
crystallized.
The question is how differently will the AL be when it is in glass form?

I have never heard of aluminium metaglass before, Or maybe a step
further and have no bound atoms, So that it is monatomic?

If aluminium can be made clear by changing it's structure then making it
into an amorphous metal would probably be the answer.
