Rock crystal bead necklace 4.5 mm faceted

This finely faceted beaded necklace made of pure rock crystal is a piece of jewelry of timeless elegance and crystalline purity. The 4.5 mm beads of clear, water-clear rock crystal capture the light in their faceted surface in a way that makes each stone sparkle like a small diamond. Rock crystal is the purest and most transparent variety of crystalline quartz – clear as water, pure as ice. The people of antiquity actually considered it to be ice turned into stone – an idea that is still reflected in its name today. A necklace that embodies clarity, purity, and light.

Mineralogical properties

Rock crystal is the colorless, completely transparent variety of crystalline quartz (SiO₂) and thus belongs to the large family of quartz rocks. Its complete colorlessness and transparency result from the absence of trace elements in the crystal lattice – it is therefore the purest of all quartz. The Mohs hardness is 7 – making rock crystal robust and suitable for everyday use. It crystallizes in the trigonal system and shows a lively glass luster. Its name is derived from the Greek "crystallos" (ice) – antiquity believed it to be ice turned into stone by extreme cold. Rock crystal often forms impressive, perfectly formed crystals with characteristic six-sided prisms and pyramidal tips. Important deposits: Brazil, USA, Madagascar as well as the Alpine regions of Austria and Switzerland.
