A central limit theorem for a generalized Harper operator on a crystal lattice is obtained. As the limit, the continuous semigroup of a uniform magnetic Schrödinger operator is captured on a vector space equipped with a special Euclidean structure. The standard realization of the crystal lattice is a key to the Euclidean structure and a linear vector potential on the Euclidean space from combinatorial data of the generalized Harper operator.
