Beautiful polished rock crystal from Brazil 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. As far back as the Mesolithic, rock crystal was known. During Roman times it was marketed from the Alps under the name "frozen ice". Theophorus named it "krystallos". Pliny the Elder also mentions it. The name 'quartz' was introduced in 1529 by Georgius Agricola. The peoples from 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. Sent by registered mail and insured.
