Crack quartz is a rock crystal subjected to strong pressure to give it this cracked appearance. At its core, this rock crystal is a transparent rock crystal with the appearance of crushed glass. This finish can also be achieved by heating the stone very hard and cooling it very quickly. The sudden drop in temperature causes these fissions.

This fine stone is completely colorless due to the absence of metallic elements in its composition. However, its luster is translucent with the presence of inclusions in the form of clouds and cracks.

So, crack rock crystal has the same properties, the same etymology and the same origins as rock crystal. It is also known as cracked white quartz.

Thus, this crack rock crystal stone belongs to the microcrystalline quartz family. This is colorless and is mainly composed of silicon dioxide. It is a very common mineral belonging to the quartz family. It is also found in the composition of granite and in that of sedimentary rocks.

The etymology of the name crystal comes from the ancient Greek krystallos, or ice, and kryos, or gel. In the 1st century, Pliny the Elder, a Roman writer and naturalist, wrote in his encyclopedia Natural History that crystal was incapable of melting, even near a source of intense heat. Rock crystal is said to be eternally frozen water in the high mountains, on the greatest peaks.

Archaeological excavations have shown that rock crystal has been used for millennia. Tools and weapons have been discovered made of rock crystal dating back to prehistoric times. During the Paleolithic era, rock crystal had the same function as flint. In fact, it made it possible to light fires thanks to the sparks it projected when colliding with metal.

Since Antiquity, many civilizations have used rock crystal. They attributed medicinal virtues to it, particularly in healing wounds. They sanitized wounds by capturing the sun's rays through a rock crystal and cauterized them by directing these rays onto the wound. Many peoples attributed magical powers to this stone.

The Mayans gave this stone the role of a divining rod and went in search of water. The Aborigines used it during their initiation rites.
