rock crystal
Transparent silicon dioxide
Rock crystal is a colorless, transparent variety of quartz—silicon dioxide in its purest form.
The term distinguishes clear quartz from its tinted varieties like amethyst or smoky quartz.
Historically prized for carved objects and jewelry, rock crystal was once believed to be permanently frozen ice: a rock crystal chandelier, rock crystal beads.
