AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful polished quartz crystal from Brazil, highly transparent, perfectly round with rainbow iridescence, superb.
The name 'bergkristal' is derived from the Greek word 'krystallos,' which means ice. It was believed that quartz was ice shaped by the gods.
In the Mesolithic era quartz was already known. During Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name 'petrified ice.' Theophrastus 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 bergkristal as the stone of patience and perfection. Tibetans use bergkristal to treat wounds.
The choice of bergkristal as a drinking glass or as part of medieval jewelry can be attributed to the belief that these crystals would crack or discolor when exposed to poison. Thus the necklace became an amulet that protected the king.
