Detailed Description
Rock crystal owes its name to the ancient Greeks who found it in caves near holy Mount Olympus, and called it krustallos meaning ice, believing it to be especially pure water permanently frozen by the gods. In India, rock crystal is known as sphatik.
Rock crystal, which is the clear form of the mineral quartz, is characterized by its spiritual purity, clearness and coolness. lt is naturally colorless, transparent and has a hardness of 7. Clarity is an important factor when judging the quality of rock crystal, which in its raw form is graded and purchased by weight. The larger a fine quality rock crystal is, the more valuable it is to the carver. Ancient civilizations learnt to cut rock crystal using sand, a material of equal hardness, making jewelry, luxury items and things related to divination, sorcery, healing and psychic protection.
