Beautiful polished rock crystal from Brazil, highly transparent, perfectly round with rainbow iridescence, superb. The name 'bergkristal' is derived from the Greek word "krustallos" meaning ice. People believed that rock crystal was ice shaped by the gods. During the Mesolithic period, rock crystal was already known. In Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name "fossilized 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 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 coming into contact with poison. Thus the pendant/necklace became an amulet that protected the king. Shipped by registered and insured mail.
