AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful polished rock crystal from Brazil, highly transparent, perfectly round, with rainbow iridescence, superb.
The name 'rock crystal' is derived from the Greek word 'krustallos,' meaning ice. It was believed that rock crystal was ice formed by the gods. By the Mesolithic era rock crystal was already known. In Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name 'frozen ice.' Theophilus called it 'krystallos.' Pliny the Elder also mentions it. The name 'quartz' was introduced in 1529 by Georgius Agricola. The peoples of the East regarded rock crystal as the 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 crack or discolor when coming into contact with poison. Thus the chain became an amulet that protected the king.
