Where does the name 'Rock Crystal' come from?

The name "rock crystal" comes from the Latin word "cristallum" meaning "ice" or "ice crystal", due to the clear, transparent nature of the stone. The name also suggests a connection with mountains, as rock crystal is often found in mountainous areas.

How do you recognize the quality of Rock Crystal?

The quality of rock crystal is determined by a number of factors, such as clarity, size, shape, color and imperfections. A high-quality rock crystal will be clear, without many inclusions or imperfections. The size and shape of the stone are also important, although this often depends on personal preference. A rock crystal with a good color, such as a clear, bright white or yellow shade, is also considered high quality.

Another way to judge the quality of rock crystal is to look at its brilliance. A crystal with good sparkle will have a bright, clear shine that brings the stone to life. Moreover, if the weight of crystal is higher than its size, then it is of good quality.
