Rock crystal, a transparent variant of quartz, owes its name to the Greek word "krystallos," which means "ice," due to its crystal-clear appearance. It forms from the cooling and crystallization of silicon dioxide in magma. Rock crystals are found worldwide, with significant deposits in countries such as Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States.

The most well-known color is colorless, but rock crystal can also show subtle shades such as light pink, gray, or blue due to impurities or inclusions. Its clarity and pure radiance make it popular in gemstones and spiritual applications.
