AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful polished AAA mountain crystal ball from Brazil.


The name 'bergkristal' is derived from the Greek word 'Krustallos,' which means ice. It was believed that bergkristal was shaped ice created by the gods.
During the Mesolithic period, people already knew about rock crystal. During Roman times, it was marketed from the Alps under the name 'frozen ice'. Theophastus called it 'krystallos'. Pliny the Elder also mentioned it. The name 'quartz' was introduced in 1529 by Georgius Agricola. The peoples of the East regarded rock crystal as a stone of patience and perfection. Tibetans use rock crystal to treat wounds.
The choice of rock crystal as a drinking glass or as part of medieval jewelry can be attributed to the belief that these crystals would break or discolor when in contact with poison. Thus, the chain became an amulet that protected the king.




Sent registered and insured.
