Crystal knowledge

There is a bewildering array of crystals on the market, in all their colors and shapes. Perhaps you can easily name many crystals, or know a little about their effectiveness, but to have a better buying experience, or need to have a more comprehensive understanding.

1.the definition of crystal 
Crystal, this natural transparent quartz mineral single crystal, is not only a kind of gemstone, but also has a unique formation process. In its pure state, it forms colorless, transparent crystals that are crystal clear. However, when the crystal contains trace elements such as Al, Fe or other trace elements formed by radiation, different types of color centers are formed, resulting in a rich variety of colors. This varied nature makes each crystal unique and fascinating.

2.the formation process of crystals 
The formation of crystals needs to undergo a long period of time, at least up to millions of years or even billions of years. In an environment rich in groundwater, the saturated silica contained in these water sources is the basis for crystal formation. At the same time, pressures of approximately two to three times atmospheric pressure and temperatures between 550 and 600°C are required. After a long period of precipitation and crystallization, crystals follow the natural law of the “tripartite crystal system” and grow into beautiful hexagonal columnar crystals.

3.the origin of the crystal 
The distribution of the crystal is wide, but mainly concentrated in South America and Asia. Brazil in South America is particularly rich in crystal resources, and its exports have always occupied a large proportion of the world's total, Madagascar and Guatemala and other countries also have abundant crystal resources. In addition, the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Australia, Turkey and more than 30 countries and regions have also found a small amount of crystal deposits. In the Asian region, China and India are the main sources of crystal.

4.the diverse classification of crystals 
crystals have colorful colors 
crystals can be divided into two categories based on color: non-colored crystals and colored crystals. Non-colored crystals mainly include colorless, creamy white, teal, and black; while colored crystals cover a wide range of colors such as purple, yellow, violet-yellow, red, pink, green, and blue.
