Size: 8 mm

Genral Info: 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.

A nice round stone, native cut to reasonable proportions. It is better than average color but not quite top color. It does not show the desired "red-flash" of the very best stones.`
