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 have lattice constants independent of the trap length, are spatially not localized with respect to the trap, and sensitively depend on the shape of the interaction potential. Compared to previously proposed crystals, this leads to qualitatively different results for the spatial excitation density, the Mandel $Q$ parameter, and the total number of excitations.
