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 shaped by the gods.
In Mesolithic times rock crystal was already known. During Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name "frozen ice." Theophra tus called it "krystallos." Plinius 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 break or discolor when they came into contact with poison. Thus the necklace became an amulet that protected the king.
Shipped by registered and insured mail.
