THE HISTORY BEHIND THE CLEAR CRYSTAL
The April birthstone is referred to by many as the ‘Universal Crystal’ or the ‘Perfect Jewel’, as
this
six-sided prism of pure light and energy can have all colors of the light spectrum be contained
within
in. In ancient times, rock crystal was believed to be ice that never melted. As well, it is
piezoelectric and pyroelectric, meaning it can turn heat or pressure into electromagnetic energy. It
is
used today in all sorts of functions, such as microphones or watches.
