The name is derived from the German "quarz" of uncertain origin. It was called "krystallos" by the Greeks, but this later became the generic term for crystal. |
| Additional Information |
| Another of what I call the "pineapple" cut native stones. A reasonable well cut top with a poor bottom using the diamond shaped facets in a poorly angles set. Very bad light return and a "fish-eye" in the top facet. Too bad because the stone has nice color, but the rough may have been too small (thin) to cut this sized stone properly. |
