AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful polished rock crystal from Brazil, highly transparent, perfectly round with rainbow iridescence, superb.
The name 'bergkristal' is derived from the Greek word "Krustallos" that means ice. It was believed that rock crystal had been shaped by the gods as ice. In Mesolithic times rock crystal was already known. During Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name "versteend ijs" (petrified ice). Theophatus called it "krystallos". Also Pliny the Elder makes mention of 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 they came into contact with poison. Thus the chain became an amulet that protected the king.
Shipped by registered and insured mail.
