Crystalline solids despite reflecting periodicity are not exactly in same directions. As a result they are anisotropic in nature. If the size is same in x, y and z axis, it will be isotropic else anisotropic.
On the other hand, amorphous solids are devoid of long range order. As a result, they hold irregular arrangement along all directions.
Due to different arrangement of particles in variable directions in solid, you will come across this particular property of being isotropic.
