The Many Facets of Crystal
Every mineral on earth is formed of crystals that combine in unique three-dimensional patterns. What we call rock crystal is a pure form of quartz, completely without coloration and composed of silicon dioxide. The stone’s waterlike clarity, relative hardness, and its abundance make it very desirable to early makers of jewelry and their clients.
